Repro Steps

My notebook abruptly went into bluescreen while having vscode with the WSL open.

Got the BIOS message saying my HD got problems and it was being repaired.

When I got back, I tried to open WSL and got the following message;

Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/WSL_E_DISK_CORRUPTED

Expected Behavior

WSL to start

Actual Behavior

I get error and it wont open

Diagnostic Logs

WslLogs-2024-11-14_20-02-12.zip

I have tried following these instructions, but I can't perform wsl.exe lsblk and after I mount the vhd using the mount flag, I get an error saying the file is being used by another process Wsl/Service/AttachDisk/MountVhd/HCS/ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION.

I had a project with commits that I didn't push, so I really need to get the files back,

Thanks.

The logs shows that a disk mount error occured. Try to follow these repair instructions and see if that solves the issue.

@arthurmluz: This might be because the disk was in use by WSL. Can you try to run wsl --shutdownbecause trying to mount the disk ?

Yes I have tried the following:

> wsl --shutdown
> wsl.exe --mount .\ext4.vhdx --vhd --bare
A operação foi concluída com êxito. (Translation: the operation completed sucessfully)
> wsl.exe lsblk
Falha ao anexar o disco '******\ext4.vhdx' ao WSL2: O arquivo já está sendo usado por outro processo.
(Translation: Failed to attach the disc '....' File already in use by another process)
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/MountVhd/HCS/ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
> wsl --shutdown
> wsl.exe lsblk
A distribuição não pôde ser iniciada porque seu disco virtual está corrompido.
Translation: (The distribution can't start because your virtual disk is corrupted)
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/WSL_E_DISK_CORRUPTED

I also tried the following things to remount it:

• converted the .vhdx file to .vhd with qemu-img;
• downloading VirtualBox and starting a VM with .vhd file;
• use 'guestmount' to mount it but I got: guestmount: no operating system was found on this disk

Finally, I used DMDE to restore my files manually
