[Cialug] tips for sharing files inside a VM

[Josh More]

I agree with Dave.  Use NFS and just export two filesystems.

I'm confused as to why you need a symlink?

Host: create a share, i.e. /share, share it with nfs or samba or whatever...

VM: mount the share in /mnt/share, or /home/matthew/share or /var/www/mysite.


My folder structure lays out like this, roughly:

/srv/file-uploads/
/srv/code-branch/ (this is the mounted filesystem)
/srv/code-branch/file-uploads/ -> link to /srv/file-uploads/

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here and need to just get less complex. It just seemed like such a good solution until I bumped into the error creating the symlink.
