Preamble:
C:\Users\Ivan Popov>ver && wsl --list
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.985]
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Debian (Default)
kali-linux
ToDo: access files in $HOME on Debian wsl instance from kali-linux wsl instance
Dunno how (and don't care actually) rootfs is mounted in Windows, but files are located here:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4\LocalState\rootfs\home
(TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux depends of installed distro)
In WSL current disk partitions are already mounted under /mnt/Disk_Letter
To access my debian_home from kali I executed:
echo "sudo mount -B /mnt/c/Users/My\ Current\ WinUserName/AppData/Local/Packages/TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4/LocalState/rootfs/ /mnt/deb/
" >> ~/.bashrc
[fstab entry should be in format /old_dir /new_dir none bind but for some reason didn't work]
The result:
$ls /mnt/deb/
total 620
