Yes, absolutely — I just assumed that with "VM image". But maybe that was a wrong assumption. :) If the machine is running, it's best to think of it as not an image but just another machine on the network. > If you want running access, you need to run NFS in the guest > and mount the guest filesystem on the host via networking > (or if it is a windows guest, you need to share the filesystems > and mount them via smb on the host). +1. Or, possibly, go the other way around, and mount a host filesystem into the guest, depending on what you want/need. You can also use 9p_virtio <http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio>. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
