How to mount a VHDX drive to a container ?

[canh25xp]

I have created a vhdx drive like this:

New-VHD -Path C:\shared.vhdx -SizeBytes 600GB -Dynamic
wsl.exe --mount --bare --vhd C:\shared.vhdx
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde
wsl.exe --unmount C:\shared.vhdx

So that I can shared data between my wsl distros by just mount it with:
wsl.exe --mount --name shared --vhd C:\shared.vhdx

Can I do the same with a podman container?

we are looking at mounting options on windows, specifically wsl, this fall.

@l0rd is this something that will get considered in your work?

@baude, I assume you are referring to #21813. The use cases seem slightly different, but if the ultimate goal is to bind-mount a folder of another WSL distribution in a container, then it should be addressed.

What I'm end up doing right now is run wsl.exe --mount --name shared --vhd C:\shared.vhdx
Then manually mount the shared disk inside a podman container podman run -it --privileged ubuntu

mount /dev/sde /mnt/shared
