Repro Steps
Mount a USB HDD formatted as ext4 to windows via WSL.
I use command
wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 --partition 2

I expect the drive to mount and be able to access the files from windows explorer.
Actual Behavior
I get the following error in the command prompt
The disk was attached but failed to mount: Invalid argument. For more details, run 'dmesg' inside WSL2. To detach the disk, run 'wsl.exe --unmount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1'.
