Mounting a USB Device or Network-mounted Folder on the everRun System

You can mount (or unmount) a USB device or a network-mounted folder (that is, a directory) on the everRun system using the Mount (or Unmount) button on the Virtual Machines page or the Snapshots page. Mounting a location makes it available to the primary node at the mount point /mnt/ft-export/. You can then export a VM or snapshot on the primary node to the mounted location, or import a VM from the mounted location to the everRun system. When the export or import is finished, use the Unmount button to unmount the location.

(If you need to mount a USB device to access the device in the guest operating system of a VM, see Attaching a USB Device to a Virtual Machine.)
