Setting up a shared directory on UTM

shared-dir-utm.md

• Make sure VirtFS is checked in the "Sharing" tab in UTM as shown in the screenshot below.

• 9p and virtio kernel modules should be enabled

lsmod| grep 9p lsmod|grep virtio

If not, then edit kernel modules and add them

sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

virtio_pci
virtio_blk
virtio_net
9pnet_virtio

Run sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot!

• And then run mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio share [mount point] -oversion=9p2000.L to mount the shared directory at the mount point.
