If they really wanted to, they could mount an ext4 fs as a single blob on disk directly into WSL. That won't really help if you want to run a GUI editor in windows against that identical directory though.


Any idea why they haven't responded to people's requests for FUSE? It's the second-most requested feature and should enable applications like this.


They have: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/projfs/proj...


That looks awesome (thanks for sharing) but it seems to be a different thing? People are looking for a way to run existing Linux FUSE in SL, not develop new virtual file system implementations. They haven't responded to that request at all. https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/266908-command-prompt-con...


Windows expects different things from an FS, so it makes sense for a native userspace FS API to be different from FUSE.

But once you have it, it shouldn't be difficult to write a FUSE adapter on top, mapping across those differences as best as possible.
