Empty mount drive

[bjorg]

I noticed that the host mount drive, while present, is empty. For example, the following command prints an empty folder.

Amazon2.exe run ls -al /mnt/c/

The same command works fine with the CentOS7 image:

CentOS7.exe run ls -al /mnt/c/

Is there a workaround to make this work on Amazon Linux as well?

Thanks for reporting.

You can solve it by installing util-linux-ng

-bash-4.2# yum install util-linux-ng
-bash-4.2# mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c
-bash-4.2# ls /mnt/c/
