Mounted drive is accessible locally, but not accessible when using a remote (ssh) session.

[rikrdo89]

A RAID device /dev/md0 is successfully mounted locally at /mnt/raid, however, it is not visible when accessing it using a remote session (via SSH, same user). Similarly, I when mounting the device during a remote (ssh) session, the mount is not visible when trying to access it locally. The mount seems to only be visible and accessible within the same session (remote or local), but not across them.

Repro Steps

Create a Mount Point:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/raid

Mount the drive in local session:

sudo mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid

Verify the mount

mount | grep /mnt/wsl/raid
/dev/md0 /mnt/raid ext4 rw,relatime,stripe=256 0 0

Accessing the machine remotely via ssh does not show the mounted drive.
mount | grep /mnt/wsl/raid does not show anything,

Expected Behavior

lsblk in both local and remote session should show (screenshot from local session):

Actual Behavior

lsblk in remote session does not show the array as mounted:
