Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I mapped a samba share to a drive letter through WinExplorer and would like to use it with rsync in WSL, but can't see my newly mapped drive in /mnt/.
Describe the solution you'd like
When I map a drive in WinExplorer, would like it to see auto monted in WSL.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered mounting it my self, but since there are no entries in /etc/fstab, I would rather not touch.
