Create a new /dev/sd{b,c,d} on WSL for Ceph


Took me a couple days to sort out but, to get this working you need to:

  • Get the developer preview of Windows 10 so you have the --mount option for WSL
  • Create a VHDX on your Windows Host. You can do this through your Disk Manager and creating a dynamic VHDX under the actions menu.
  • Mount that VHDX and, voila the 1/dev/sd{x}1 will be created. In my use-case this allowed Ceph to create the OSDs using that disk.
