I have a 250GB WSL 2 partition running Ubuntu (on Windows 10), inside which I do my development. I'm working with some files that are too big for this partition. I have attached an external 6TB USB drive and mounted it with drvfs.
drvfs on /mnt/d type 9p (rw,relatime,dirsync,aname=drvfs;path=d:;symlinkroot=/mnt/,mmap,access=client,msize=262144,trans=virtio)
The performance reading and writing files is terrible. A task that should take less than a minute to run looks like it might take hours.
I understand this is a known issue: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4197
Are there any solutions or reasonable workarounds?
