Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Working with large git repos and applications that produce massive amounts of logs and reports
many times fail to complete due to a shortage of free Inodes.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, the Inodes limit is 16777216.
A way to increase the disk size and the Inodes count for new WSL2 instances would be great,
without re-installing everything.
