How to access systems usb drive in Windows Subsytem Linux Ubuntu


Solution 1:

I believe your question is how to access an external USB drive connected to the Windows PC. this site explains it very well https://www.scivision.co/mount-usb-drives-windows-subsystem-for-linux/.

First you need to create the mount point: mkdir /mnt/g (add whatever word or letter you want, I used the matching letter to the windows drive) (you might need to use sudo to create the directory in the /mnt directory. Next you can successfully mount the drive to the directory using sudo mount -t drvfs G: /mnt/g.

I hope this helps you!
