I'm confused as to why you need a symlink?<br>
<br>
Host: create a share, i.e. /share, share it with nfs or samba or whatever...<br>
<br>
VM: mount the share in /mnt/share, or /home/matthew/share or /var/www/mysite.<br>

<div>My folder structure lays out like this, roughly:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>/srv/file-uploads/</div>
<div>/srv/code-branch/ (this is the mounted filesystem)</div>
<div>/srv/code-branch/file-uploads/ -> link to /srv/file-uploads/</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here and need to just get less complex. It just seemed like such a good solution until I bumped into the error creating the symlink.</div>
