Hi @lucasrdrgs
ArchWSL's root file system is located in ext4.vhdx.
If you are using AppX, it's in C:\Users\{Your-User-Name}\AppData\Local\Packages\yuk7.archwsl_35zwpb4sx6e50\LocalState.

You can use ndb and qemu-ndb on native Linux to recognize it as a block device.

sudo qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 ext4.vhdx

and you can mount it as ext4 partition

mount -o ro,nouser /dev/nbd0 /mnt/mountpoint
