Mount Path on TrueNAS host to Incus VM

Apps and Virtualization

I migrated from EE to FT earlier this week, and am in the process of setting up a new VM to replace the one that ran under EE - with the issues with Incus forcing a Boot Disk to be used, it’s easier to make a whole new VM and manually restore data than to try to mount the old volume to the new VM.

Under the old setup, I had an NFS share mounted to my VM, so that backups could be made from within the VM to an external source. Under Fangtooth, there’s a known issue with SMB and NFS not playing well together, so I am disabling NFS for now.

Is there a way to mount a folder on the TrueNAS to a path inside an Incus VM, so I can recreate that setup, without using NFS?

Thank you for any guidance!

From what I can tell, Incus itself supports this, but the TrueNAS UI doesn’t expose that functionality. Haven’t tried doing it manually, but it’s something to investigate. I filed a feature request if you want to take a look.

I can see it under a Container, but not a VM. I’ll go add to the Feature Request - thank you!
