Description

This page https://www.testcontainers.org/supported_docker_environment/windows/ describes how to configure WSL to support volume mapping.

Inside the WSL shell, modify the /ect/wsl.conf file to mount the Windows drives on / instead of on /mnt/. (Reboot required after this step).

However, it's not clear whether this applies to WSL1 or/and WSL2.

It would be helpful if this was clarified. There's also a typo.

Research direction

Open the Windows support page at testcontainers.org/supported_docker_environment/windows/ and review the WSL volume-mapping instructions, including the /ect/wsl.conf reference. Clarify whether the guidance applies to WSL1, WSL2, or both, and correct the typo; the page should clearly state the supported WSL versions and use the correct path.
