Choose plan9 user for wsl$ network share

[edrevo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am mounting my Ubuntu distro as a network share through \wsl$, but any files created in Windows through the share appear as root:root in Linux. Is there any way to change this? Perhaps there is some way of configuring the P9 server in WSL2? I have searched for documentation but I can't find anything.

Describe the solution you'd like
Being able to make changes to the WSL2 file system with a non-root user.

Describe alternatives you've considered
sudo chown constantly, but that's a pain

Imported distro, right?

Start by trying #3974 (message). If that doesn't take, default-user-id it harder in the registry (message). Either way do a wsl.exe --shutdown (or a reboot) before accessing 9p in either direction after setting the default user id.

Hi,
I'd like to bump this. I have a setup where I need my default user to stay as root, however would like to map files in wsl share to different unix user. I think this functionality could be easily extended by adding additional option to wsl.conf that would just fallback to default user if not set.

Is there any workaround I can use?

For the record, it's WSL1 with Debian image from store. Nothing fancy.
