So with a self compiled kernel you can now use zfs on Windows? Neat

  But your Windows NT processes can't access the files

    Perhaps not as a drive path, but they can via a UNC style path. For example you can browse to these in Explorer: \\wsl$ \\wsl.localhost\Debian

      Which, interestingly, uses 9P as the file system protocol between Windows and the WSL instance.

        How deep does this Glenda-hole go?

          I hear that the reason we went from Windows 8.1 to 10 was that Redmond didn't want to release Plan 9 from Microsoft. ;)

  You can run OpenZFS natively on windows as well ;-)

  I can confirm that compiling the kernel with f2fs support works, and I can't imagine that zfs is different. Was just a matter of cloning microsofts kernel repo, changing the kconfig to include it, building it, copying it to the windows disk (I built it in wsl), and setting up the wslconfig to point at it.
