This chapter explains how disks and storage work in WSL Ubuntu, covering how to view, mount, and manage drives from both Windows and Linux. It shows common commands for checking disk space, accessing Windows files, and handling removable storage, along with tips for keeping data safe.

• WSL Ubuntu can access Windows drives, which appear under /mnt (for example, /mnt/c for the C: drive).
• Use commands like df -h and lsblk to check disk space and list storage devices.
• Drives can be mounted manually with the mount command and unmounted with umount.
• Removable storage such as USB drives can be accessed from WSL, but may need to be mounted first.
• Back up important data regularly, since storage changes in WSL can affect files shared with Windows.
