[3.3.0] Microsoft Store installed filesystem not duplicated correctly.

[patrickcarlohickman]

I have Ubuntu installed through the Microsoft Store. It seems that the duplicate functionality doesn't appear to be picking up the filesystem version correctly. The -v option says that it uses the version of the source if it isn't specified.

The registry entry for the Store install shows Version 1.

When I duplicate with the -v 1 option, everything appears to work fine.

When I duplicate without the -v option, it creates cache, data, home, mnt, and root directories as siblings of the rootfs directory. Inside the machine, everything in my /home directory is gone because it's looking at the home sibling, not rootfs\home.

I also get the same incorrect behavior if I duplicate with -v 0.

I don't know if this means anything, but if I duplicate with the -v 2 option, attempting to run that instance results in "Error: 0x80070040". I'm not worried about this, just thought I'd mention it for extra information.

Thanks,
Patrick

It seems that the Version registry value is always incorrectly set to 0 if -v isn't specified. I just fixed it, please try the dev release, thanks. As for the error of -v 2 I think it's because you're not on a Windows Insider build that supports the new WSL version.

How about this command: wslconfig /upgrade <distro_name>.

I doubt if this command will even exist on a build that doesn't support v2

I remember there were some builds where the upgrade option was implemented but not documented.
