I moved my repos from internal SSD to external NAS storage and was working on them in VS Code until I neeed to run it from WSL console…
It appears that WSL is not mounting removable and network shares/devices by default. As said in old microsoft post in comment section:
We only “mount” fixed drives at this time. USB/removable/network drives are not handled at this time. This capability is on our backlog, but it’s not on the cards anytime soon.
But fortunately we can do it now without problems as
All we need to do is create a place for it or use existing folder and mount it there. In my case I created new path under /mnt/share and then mounted it (my NAS is listed as Z). Just like that:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/share
$ sudo mount -t drvfs Z: /mnt/share/And it worked.
