Mount local folder on VM

[Cesar da Silva]

Hi!
1. Is there any way to mount a local folder on a VM in a similar way that VirtualBox can share a local folder with a VM?
I don't want to use any network related protocols to mount my local folder.
2. Is there any way to simulate that a specific folder is an attached as an USB-drive if the above is not possible?

Not out of the box.
Qemu does support p9 virtfs what has no permission and many other things missing.

You can use "args" in the vmid.conf.
But this is never tested by PVE.

Disclaimer - I’m a complete newb when it comes to virtualization.

I find this answer so surprising that I’m certain I’m missing something. If I have a Proxmox node with an internal SSD that I’d like to have mounted in a VM directory (which happens to be something I’m trying to do now on my install), am I understanding correctly that this isn’t supported/doable?

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, P9 virtfs not supported in Proxmox VE.
