Description

I'm trying to set up a simple Ceph cluster which requires the `rbd` kernel module. Turns out it's not currently available in the WSL 2 kernel. Hoping for support to run a simple storage server on WSL2.

Research direction

Start by checking the WSL2 kernel configuration and how Ceph's rbd kernel module is enabled in Linux. Confirm why rbd is unavailable in the WSL2 kernel and define done as the module being available for the reported Ceph setup.
