[help] Mount qemu image with nbd - modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open

[mfe-]

Hi,
currently I'm using the command qemu-system-sparc -hda readynas_compile_environment.qcow2 -nographic for my virtual sparc machine. My next step would be to mount the qcow/qcow2 image. I tried to follow this guide.

Executing the command sudo modprobe nbd max_part=8 tells me that the module could not be found. So I installed

sudo apt-get install qemu-block-extra
sudo apt-get install qemu-utils 

I get still the same error message. I'm wondering if this is possible with the current state of WSL or whether I missed something else? Thanks for any help.

• Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.371]

• What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

sudo apt-get install nbd-client 
sudo modprobe nbd max_part=8                                 
[sudo] password for m:
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.0-43-Microsoft/modules.dep.bin'                                                                                                     modprobe: FATAL: Module nbd not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-43-Microsoft 

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
  The module should be available

Same in spirit as #845. There are no Linux kernel modules in WSL because there is no Linux kernel. I don't think nbd specifically come up before; in theory you could ask for support over in User Voice.
