Description
LUKS support has been added to WSL kernel over a year ago: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/servicing-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl-2-linux-kernel/
Process /etc/crypttab to set up encrypted boot devices during boot automatically.
I guess corresponding functionallity has to be added to WSL proprietary init program.
