I can see the mounted container in /mnt/w/ but cannot access any contents there.

    [How to access a BitLocker-encrypted drive in Linux?](http://superuser.com/questions/376533/how-to-access-a-bitlocker-encrypted-drive-in-linux). Skip the irrelevant parts of the instructions submitted by Jodiug. Accessing Bitlocker volumes on Windows Subsystem for Linux, is not a supported featre at this time but it should be possible. You just have to provide a driver for it (i.e. Dislocker). – Ramhound Nov 01 '16 at 20:52

  • If you don't mind rebooting the WSL, https://superuser.com/a/1347725/29248 seems to work in the scenario where WSL is started after BL protection was removed – mlvljr Apr 07 '22 at 12:42

After unlocking the bitlocker volume/partition on Windows, execute on WSL:

sudo mount -t drvfs -o uid=1000,gid=1000 W: /mnt/w

What works for me, is unlocking the bitlocker volume in Windows before starting the Ubuntu bash (WSL). If I start the WSL bash before unlocking, I won't see anything until rebooting Windows and then unlocking the volume before launching the WSL bash.
