    wsl --mount option is only available to those using Windows 10 Build 20211, which is in the Insiders update channel as of the time of the writing (according to docs.microsoft.com/pt-br/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk)

    Please specify this as one of the first points in your answer if you don't want users to go down the The disk is in use or locked by another process rabbit hole after spending an ungodly amount of time getting WSL2 running. Quote from the MS WSL doc, Limitations: At this time, only entire disks can be attached to WSL 2, meaning that it's not possible to attach only a partition. Concretely, this means that it's not possible to use wsl --mount to read a partition on the boot device, because that device can't be detached from Windows.
