A pain in the bum but I got there.

I was trying to share a NFS share with an immich docker container to have a play with importing videos. The Debian could see it but the Image could not. I am not sure if it is to do with the limit on the omv NFS IP address range or something but I knew if my Windows machine could see it then the damn WSL2 should be able to see it too, natively!

In PowerShell wsl --list --verbose lists which WSL are in use, and confusingly it gives two but the * suggested that this was the one to work with.

  NAME              STATE           VERSION
* Debian            Running         2
  docker-desktop    Running         2

I tried and tried to mount the NFS share there, but though the Debian could see it, the Docker image could not. I share the same folder using SMB so was able to get that in to WSL using:

wsl -d Debian
sudo mkdir /mnt/p
sudo mount -t drvfs P: /mnt/p

This makes the p: drive appear on /mnt/p which I could then get working in the yaml with:

    volumes:
      - /mnt/p:/mnt/p_drive

This worked so nicely that I couldn’t think why the NFS share worked so went back and tried it all over again. It immediately worked!

Argh.
