### Description
I'm trying to create an environment to use fluentbit to forawrd logs to an HTTP and a TCP service.
I have been able to do this in Docker but it seems that there is a bug in containerd so I need to test it.
I have installed Rancher Desktop on windows and I'm using `nerdctl` CLI to create everything from a docker-compose.yml file (The same used with docker).
Unfortunately the process is getting stuck on the following step:
```
avillegas@ITMES5CD41761PF:~/fluentbit-local$ nerdctl --insecure-registry compose --debug -f docker-compose.yml up
<3>WSL (2574) ERROR: CreateProcessParseCommon:711: Failed to translate \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\avillegas\fluentbit-local

```
The first time I ran the compose up I was able to create all the containers but I had a problem with the `etc` volume for fluentbit. After fixing the mapping issue (changing relative path to absolute) the containers never started again.
They even got stuck till the point I had to kill Rancher Desktop to destroy them.
Here is the compose yaml:
```
services:
http-service:
image: fluentbit-local-http-service:latest
#build: ./express
container_name: express-logger
ports:
- "9999:9999"
environment:
PORT: 9999
tcp-service:
image: fluentbit-local-tcp-service:latest
#build: ./tcp
container_name: tcp-logger
ports:
- "7777:7777"
environment:
PORT: 7777
fluentbit:
image: fluent/fluent-bit:3.1.6-amd64
container_name: fluentbit-local
ports:
- "2020:2020"
depends_on:
- http-service
- tcp-service
volumes:
- /home/avillegas/fluentbit-local/etc:/fluent-bit/etc
- /mnt/c/AnypointStudio/plugins/org.mule.tooling.server.4.7.ee_7.18.0.202405262218/mule/logs:/home/nonroot
```
Both images
- fluentbit-local-tcp-service:latest
- fluentbit-local-http-service:latest
-
Have been exported from docker using `docker save -o local-image.tar image:tag` and imported to containerd using `nerdctl load < local-images.tar`. So bith the images are local.

Everything is being run from WSL (Ubuntu) on a Windows 11 machine.
### Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Import and pull the images
2. Change the volume paths to something on your local machine
3. run the nerdctl compose up command with the yaml provided
### Describe the results you received and expected
The expected result is that the 3 containers will start and I will be able to use the fluent bit container to forward the logs from a tailed file to the HTTP and TCP services on the other containers
