Same problem, I can't mount my udisk with wsl --mount \.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 --bare.

I want WSL to mount NTFS format disk directly, or provide an official .exe application to solve the situation of slow IO caused by NTFS, I don't want to have to do everything by myself.

Same issue and noting errors in Hyper-V-Worker logs

Also seeing this on:

Please have a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/connect-usb.

I have a similar issue and something I noticed is that if you open the Windows Disk Management tool so you can see the drive and then run the command the drive switches to Offline mode immediately when running the mount command. It has a tooltip then which says "Offline (The disk is offline because of policy set by an administrator)".

The drive will remain Offline until you either re-plug it or bring it online with diskpart manually (the "Online" option in the Disk Manager itself is greyed out).

I'm also affected, and my SD reader is not presented as a USB device so the USB-IP solution is out of question.

Same issue. I have an EXT4 formatted (Kubuntu box) usb drive. Here are the details:

(Commenting for reopening, if it works, because I just found myself affected)

Edit: Well, nope. Sorry then.

[reyqn]

This should be reopened

[flaep]

still an issue

[warpdesign]

Same problem here.

Also, the drive is put offline as soon as I run the command as well.
