WSL displaying wrong disk space.

[steveiliop56]

Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.2715]

WSL Version

2.0.9.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.15.133.1-1

Distro Version

Ubuntu 22.04

Other Software

No response

Repro Steps

1. Open your distro's terminal
2. Run the df -h command
3. Check the /dev/sdc device vs the /mnt/c device

Expected Behavior

Normally it should display 512gb because that is my actual SSD size.

Actual Behavior

You can see in the screenshot bellow that the /dev/sdc device that is mounted on / says it has 1000gb while the /mnt/c says the actual disk space.
