          I figured it out. There is a setting to mount manually instead of automount.



          To disable [automount] I should set enable key in wsl.conf to false.
          Here is my /etc/wsl.conf:



          [automount]
          enabled=false
          mountFsTab=true


          Also, I should have added the following line to fstab.



          D:  /home   drvfs   defaults    0 0


          and it did work. Just do not forget to have .bashrc and .profile in your D drive.
