  • I don’t understand what you mean with the content disappearing when you mount the virtiofs on the guest - isn’t the mount empty when bound, untill the guest populates it?

    Sorry I made a mistake in the original post. I wanted to say on the host instead of on the guest. My bad.

    Yes, you are correct, the folder is empty until I log in insde the cloud application on the guest.

    does it require local storage or support remote?

    What do you mean? The cloud drive is a network drive basically. It only downloads files on demand.

    if guest os is linux, nfs will probably do

    This is what others have suggested and what I will probably do if the method below fails.

    podman/docker seems to be the proper tool for you here

    Yesterday I actually tried to spin a podman container hoping it would work but I encountered the following problem when trying to propagate mounts: https://lemmy.ml/post/22215540

    Could you please assist me there if you have further ideas? Thank you :)

    Keep in mind that a screwup could be interpreted by the sync client as mass-deletes

    I am VERY aware of this *sweating*









  • strace can be very verbose and requires a lot of knowledge that i doubt i can share through comments back and forth.

    No worries. Thank a lot nonetheless.

    is creating an intermediary like others have commented on in this post an option?

    What do you mean by intermediary? Do you mean syncing the files with the VM and then sharing the synced copy with the host?That wouldn’t work since my drive is smaller than the cloud drive and I need all the files on-demand.
