Thank you for the reply, this is indeed helpful, but I still believe what I mentioned could be valuable. I am having issues with finding the help text that you posted though in the VM creation page, is it somewhere else in the docs? EDIT: Most of the fields in the other windows have a very useful info icon to explain some of the settings. It would be nice to have that available here as well instead of hunting for the info you share! (I could be blind but I do not see it on my page)

When adding a share through the UI in Unraid VM setup, users currently have to manually mount the share from the VM OS. The UI makes it seem like this is done automatically when adding the share but this in fact not possible since the setup has no control over VM OS files so mounting the added share from the UI must be a manual step. A helpful improvement would be to provide a dynamically generated line suggestion within the template that needs to be added to the fstab file when adding a share. Possible example: # Mount <sharename> share at startup using virtiofs <mountpathinvm> virtiofs defaults 0 0 <sharename> <mountpathinvm> virtiofs defaults 0 0 Taking into account the type of share virtiofs/9pmode and whatever other setting is needed that changes the mount script This would guide users through the correct mounting process and make this feature a little more polished. Somewhere in here, near its respective VM would be a nice place to put the info described above Found this thread after I already made a feature request for it: Dynamic Script Suggestion for Mounting Shares in Unraid VM Setup when adding a share using the UI - Feature Requests - Unraid

When adding a share to a VM in Unraid using the UI options of source and tag, the bus name changes unexpectedly without notice. When the bus is renamed the VM loses ethernet connection. This issue is not clearly documented and leads to confusion when setting up the VM. Ensuring that the bus name remains consistent would greatly improve the user experience when using the share feature while creating the VM. There is a very large thread here that goes through this but this is specifically what I had to do manually to fix the issue: FAQ Feedback - for VM FAQ - Page 2 - VM Engine (KVM) - Unraid
