Are you running the Windows version of VisIt from Windows, attempting to access files stored in your WSL filesystem? |

Thank you for your reply. I'm running the Windows version of VisIt 3.3.3 and attempting to access files stored in my WSL filesystem. The Linux OS is Ubuntu 22.04. |

Yes, it will work if I copy all the data from WSL to Windows. However, my data was generated on Linux (WSL) and I need to visualize and postprocess the data frequently, so it is not convenient to copy the data to Windows every time. I can open the data on WSL using Windows VisIt without problem. The only issue is I cannot restore the session file. I spent some time to set up all the format and want to reuse it. I tried connecting WLS as a remote server but failed to connect it.

Subject: Re: [visit-dav/visit] How to load session file from WSL (Discussion #19776)
May I ask why you stored your session in WSL? Why not within the Windows filesystem?
Microsoft recommends not working across operating systems with your files:

From a VisIt perspective, this is not a tested use-case.
You can run with debug logging (there is a VisIt with debug logging shortcut in the start menu). The mdserver and viewer log files would be of interest. You can zip them and post them here.

The database has many time steps, but only the data at time=0 is loaded after canceling the metadata server window. |

My VisIt is installed on Win 10, and I can open file from WSL2 and save the session file on WSL2. However, I cannot load the session file from WSL. The window of Visit is waiting for a metadata server to launch on is hanging there forever. What is the right way to load a session file on WSL?
