currently windows hyper-v does not support virtio-fs driver, cannot mount a file directory into guest machine. so as WSL, wsl is still using 9pfs to share directory between host and guest, it shows pretty slow comparing with virto-fs

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to virtio-fs driver.

    Please note that virtio-fs driver is Open source File system Driver , Hence it will be difficult to tell when Microsoft will be supported this.

    I will suggest you to send feedback to Microsoft using Feedback hub.
