Then run wsl --shutdown from Windows, wait a minut or so and star wsl again. Once you have your usb device passed you should see the storage device if not, try on the wsl side: modprobe usb-storage; modprobe uas"

@rs38 Commenting was from testing the \ to get the right output. I've removed the comments on the make commands - thank you for pointing it out.

Correct, it is a available fir USB mass storage. WSL2 with a custom built kernel cannot load modules with modprobe as the loadable module support is disabled when WSL2 is configured this way.

@Komorebi-E what's strange: to make the USB mass storage actually work with USBIPD and that custom kernel, I have to execute modprobe vhci_hcd in WSL2, which succeeds.
(and docker is failing)
