I ran into an issue when trying to connect a shared folder from my host to my 
virtual OS in KVM. The folder actually does appear in the virtual OS, but it's 
empty, unlike the folder in the host which has files in it. I'm not ruling out 
the possibility that I configured something wrong, but the instructions on 
setting it up seemed to be pretty straightforward. Basically I did the 
following procedures:  

mkdir ~/shared

chmod 777 ~/shared

Went to VirtManager enabled shared memory, added FileSystem with driver 
virtiofs. My source path to find the folder was /home/username/shared and the 
target path was /mnt/shared.

Upon booting the virtual machine everything seemed to work. I found the folder 
where it should be, only there was nothing in it. And on the host there was 
files I had already placed in the folder. So this is where I'm at now.
