Mount Btrfs

[Randalix]

Can I use Lima to mount a btrfs disk on a m1 and create a samba share on that disk?
If I add /dev to the mounts I get:
FATA[0020] the YAML is invalid, saved the buffer as "lima.REJECTED.yaml": field `mounts[2].location` must not be a system path such as /etc or /usr
Sorry for the beginners question, but I've not found useful resources when searching about that topic.

Mounting devices from the host is not really a beginner question, and would probably need support from Lima (and qemu) before it would work properly

Normally one would use a virtual disk image

It would be nice to be able to use limactl disk create to create a Btrfs disk image and have it mounted via the additionalDisks: mechanism. The ability to use Btrfs snapshots would be really helpful for some use cases.

Relevant:

• Allow leaving additional disks unformatted #1516

If I understand correctly, Fedora CoreOS uses btrfs for snapshots

EDIT: Close, it was Desktop: (but not our Cloud, nor CoreOS)

The default file system on the desktop is Btrfs. It specifically excludes Fedora Server, Cloud, IoT, and CoreOS.
