Description
Correct me if I didn't understand it right, wsl 2 manage its own swap file configured in .wslconfig, while wsl 1 utilizes windows managed Vitual Memorry in Control Panel. The problem is the .wslconfig only support one swapFile according to Microsoft Docs. Multiple swap file with different priority on multiple hard drives will be really useful. Is it possible now or in the future?
