Description
Hello
I am a new user of BASH with Windows preview insider
When i do the command "ls ", i can see all the NTFS partitions like one lettre each
Microsoft@DESKTOP-G51CU1Q:/mnt$ ls
c e f g h j k q r
But no ext4 partition!!!
however i can continue to see the contents of the EXT4 partitions on Windows10-14371 with EXT2FSD ( http://www.ext2fsd.com/ )
how to be able to also view them with BASH (mount ?)

Research direction
Start with the reported Bash session and the /mnt listing, then investigate how the mount command and ext4 partitions are handled in WSL. Compare the requested access with the existing NTFS mounts and determine the supported mounting path. Done means ext4 contents can be viewed from Bash without relying on EXT2FSD.
