April 15, 20242 yr Setup following virtiofs settings when I created a PopOS VM (settings selected from dropdown). Unraid Share Mode: Virtiofs Mode Unraid Share: user: vmShare Unraid Source Path: /mnt/user/vmShare Unraid Mount Tag: vmShare The VM boots fine but I can't see the share named "vmShare". either in locations, VM's mnt folder, or using Disks utility. Is there some step I'm missing or is there a problem? Edited April 15, 20242 yr by JKunraid added info

How would I keep the connection to share persistent across reboots?

To mount the partition add a line in the fstab with the source name and the directory you want to mount it. In this example we mount the directory exported from /home/shared, that will be called home_shared. It will be mounted in the path /mnt/shared inside the virtual machine. This line in the file home_shared /mnt/shared virtiofs rw,relatime 0 0
