Research direction

The issue names WSL, Ubuntu-20.04, VHD mount, Ext4, and the \\wcl.localhost path, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying the intended Windows read/write behavior and how the VHD-mounted Ext4 disk should integrate with WSL. Done would require an agreed design and corresponding implementation and validation.
