My apologies. I didn't realize this was an issue with VM, and I can see why. I was thinking about NFS and doing something quick and dirty that way. The write access is immaterial. I at least want them to link to one of my disks. Read only will be fine. Can I just attach another minidisk to my guest and let them have read only access to it?
Thanks.
