ash-mount - hot-mount a host directory into a running VM
Hot-mounts one host directory into a running VM without regenerating virtle.toml.
Use HOST_PATH[:GUEST_PATH]. If GUEST_PATH is omitted, ash uses the absolute host path as the guest target.
A guest path starting with ~ is resolved relative to the guest SSH user's home. Ash normalizes redundant path components without resolving host symlinks to their targets.
ash stages the host directory below shares/{ro,rw}/mounts/hotmounts, exposes it through the matching consolidated share, then uses virtle guest-exec to bind it at GUEST_PATH inside the guest.
The guest shares-ro or shares-rw root is mounted lazily when needed. --mode controls guest access: rw is the default; ro uses the read-only share and a read-only bind mount.
The desired mount is recorded atomically in ash-state.toml before guest realization. Later starts and resumes retry any missing host staging or guest bind mount.
The VM must be running and QEMU Guest Agent must be available.
