How to share /home and Users folders between Linux host and Windows 7 guest with kvm












0















I have recently installed Windows 7 as a guest in a linux kvm virtual machine.



I was wondering if there is a way to make the /home folder of the linux host and the Users folder of the Windows guest be the same. That way if I download something, for instance, it will end up in the same folder in both operating systems and I will have access to my documents from both.
