WSL script for mounting drives

README.md

Use this script to mount drives in WSL. Example: ezmount.sh f to mount the F: drive.

Thanks to https://askubuntu.com/a/1422805/778411 for specifying how to make the WSL user the default owner of files.

ezmount.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
DRIVE_LETTER="$1"

if [[ ! "$DRIVE_LETTER" ]]; then
    echo Please enter a drive letter.
    exit 1
fi

mount_path="/mnt/${DRIVE_LETTER,,}"

if [[ ! -d "$mount_path" ]]; then
    sudo mkdir "$mount_path"

    if [[ "$?" ]]; then
        echo Something went wrong in trying to create the directory "$mount_path".
        exit 1
    fi
fi

sudo mount -t drvfs "${DRIVE_LETTER^^}:" "$mount_path" -o "uid=$(id -u $USER),gid=$(id -g $USER),metadata"
