Blobfuse2 WSL

The new WSL 2.0 is an exciting new feature from Windows. If you have Windows version higher that 2004 you most likely have WSL 2.0. It allows you to run a Linux instance inside your Windows. You will have access to all Linux features inside a "command prompt".
Even though we love this addition, the blob fuse team has not been able to take this through its paces. We do not support WSL 2.0 in production workloads. But we encourage the community to play with it and give us feedback. We will opportunistically make improvements to blobfuse to make WSL2.0 work better.
Steps to install: Link
Please make sure you go through all the steps as any errors in setup may block blobfuse.
- You can access data on your windows from WSL by navigating to /mnt/c/
- From windows if you want to access the mount its available like a network share as \\wsl$\<wsl_os_name>
- Alternatively you can just run from your WSL prompt the following command
- By default syslog does not work in WSL. User has to manually start rsyslog service using "sudo service rsyslog start"
- Copy the logrotate and syslog files as mentioned in README and then start rsyslog service to filter blobfuse logs in /var/log/blobfuse.log
