+Mounting Windows file systems
+=============================
+
+From January 2018 WSL 1 allows to mount external NTFS file systems as ``drvfs``. ``metadata`` option
+allows ``chmod`` operation on NTFS volumes, metadata will be shared across all WSL distros though.

+  Chmod/Chown WSL Improvements.
+
+To preserve customization between WSL reloads update ``/etc/wsl.conf`` with something like::
 
-::
+  [automount]
+  enabled = true
+  mountFsTab = false
+  options = "metadata,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,fmask=077"
+
+Equivalent CLI call is::
+
+  sudo mount -t drvfs 'C:\' /mnt/c -o metadata,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,fmask=077

   sudo mkdir /mnt/f
   sudo mount -t drvfs f: /mnt/f
