Is usb supported on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10?

问题

• I have no files or paths about usb on dev/
• When I plug in a flash disk, nothing appears on dev/ or mnt/ or media/ about it.

• sudo lsusb returns:

  unable to initialize libusb: -99
  

What should i do to enable usb access on bash?

Good news, it is now possible to mount USB media (including FAT formated) and network shares with drvfs on Windows 10:

Mount removable media: (e.g. D:)

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/d
$ sudo mount -t drvfs D: /mnt/d

To safely unmount

$ sudo umount /mnt/d

You can also mount network shares without smbfs:

$ sudo mount -t drvfs '\\server\share' /mnt/share

You need at least Build 16176 so you might have to opt-in to the Windows Insider programm and then update Windows. Source: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/wsl/2017/04/18/file-system-improvements-to-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux/

Edit:
According to a blog post from Microsoft this feature is now fixed from build 16176 and forward.

There is no USB support at the moment. Only fixed disks will be mounted (automatically) in /mnt.

Also other storage (other than auto-mounted fixed disks) are not supported, This includes CD-ROM drives, loopback devices and network shares.
