[Feature] Adding --name parameter to wsl --mount

As by the docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk

$disk = "\\.\PhysicalDrive$((Mount-VHD -Path D:\data_disk.vhdx -PassThru | Get-Disk).Number)"
# assuming \\.\PhysicalDrive5
wsl --mount $disk -p 1

This will mount a VHD to /mnt/wsl/PhysicalDrive5p1

The problem is, if, at some point, other hard drives get attached to (or removed from) windows, /mnt/wsl/PhysicalDrive5p1 becomes no longer a reliable fixed mount point in WSL.

Use-case: Setting up WSL to use PhysicalDrive5p1 as the home-folder of the Linux user

Create a folder /mnt/wsl/PhysicalDrive5p1/<username>
ln -s /mnt/wsl/PhysicalDrive5p1/<username> /home/<username>

Problem: After attaching/detaching other hard drives PhysicalDrive5p1 becomes PhysicalDrive6p1 or PhysicalDrive4p1 which breaks the existing symlink.

Solution

wsl --mount $disk -p 1 --name dataDisk
ln -s /mnt/wsl/dataDisk/<username> /home/<username>
