Windows WSL Windows Subsystem Linux mount performance: exclude node_modules / vendor
I am very happy with Windows WSL running my lamp stack (apache, mysql, php, node).
The only pain currently is performance on npm install / composer install / npm run serve.
At the moment my only option is to run those commands outside of WSL, which is not the preferrable way because of several issues (different environment).
I have two possible solutions:
Exclude these folders from mount / folder sync. Is this somehow possible that WSL just excludes those folders from syncing between my Windows machine and the linux mount? Can I unmount a subfolder ("node_modules" and/or "vendor")?
Make a symlink from /mnt/c/htdocs/project/node_modules to ~/project/node_modules to outsource these modules and prevent a drop in i/o performance.
Unfortunately the second option does not work properly; E.g. when I run npm install, I get a "Cannot find module 'mkdirp'."
I'm happy for any advice.
