wsl --mount <DiskPath>
 wmic diskdrive list brief

wsl --unmount <Diskpath>

Once mounted, it’s also possible to access these disks through the Windows explorer by navigating to \wsl$ and then to the mount folder.

Limitations

By default, wsl --mount attempts to mount the disk as ext4. To specify a filesystem, or for more advanced scenarios, check out Mount a disk in WSL 2.

Also please note that this feature comes with the limitation that only physical disks can be attached to WSL 2. At this time, it’s not possible to attach a single partition. More details on the limitations here.

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool true
gives
