GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 785773
gnome boxes should support mounting local directories
Last modified: 2018-01-11 10:57:40 UTC
gnome boxes does not support mounting local directories in virtual machines, only usb file systems, which is not practical for non-proof of concept VMs. practically all other virt techs (vmware, virtual boxes etc) support mounting local directories. what's worse is that the virtualization technologies behind boxes support it. if storage cannot be virtualized in a virtual machine, there is not much use for a vm, and gnome boxes remains a proof of concept.
