What's the default users configured in your distro ? If that user doesn't have access to the mount point, that can explain this error.

The username is the one I created during WSL installation.
From WSL I can list all the dir and files under /mnt/d and the WSL user matches both the owner and the group,
however I get a Permission denied for the System Volume Information.

Same here. It used to work like 2 days ago, now I cannot use the WSL-based Python venv that I have created using PyCharm, since the directories appear to be empty.

我也有同样的问题。
我在Windows的pycharm中调试代码时，程序不能访问/mnt/d下的资源。但是在WSL2中，确可以正常访问/mnt/d下的所有内容。
我尚不清楚如何解决。
