You may want to read/write *without* mounting - for example, when using dd to write a disk image. > > Is there any way the attachment and mounting can be made permanent? > `man` is your friend - specifically `man qvm-block`. You will see that there is indeed a `--persistent` option. Mounting could be a simple (and standard) entry in /etc/fstab - nothing Qubes specific here. Or simply a call to `mount`. Make sure that you use a good identifier - /dev/xvdi may or may not work - a label or UUID would be much better. Again `man fstab` and `man mount` will help. The Qubes specific part will be to make sure that any changes you make to /etc/fstab are persistent - you could do this using bind-dirs or by an entry in /rw/config/rc.local > Next challenge - access files on another Linux laptop on the same network! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "qubes-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to qubes-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/da8f0bd7-8736-4e32-b64c-9721ab8fabaco%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
