Custom mount of location to a mountPoint

[madalinignisca]

I'm very confused on mounts.

I'm trying to mount one specific directory to make it available under a specific directory.

It gets mounted as expected, but the default shell login changes behaviour: it logins to the same user path like my MacOS host.

VM: user in
/home/madalin.linux as I saw it gets created.
mount:

• location: '/Volumes/Workspace/git'
  mountPoint: '/home/madalin.linux/git'
  writable: true

The above works.

But: when I login, it defaults in an non-existing directory /Users/madalin. Why is lima generating ssh config trying to login the user to some location and not it's default home?

The lima shell command by default opens a shell in the same directory that you are in on the host. This is by design.

You can override this

$ limactl shell --workdir /home/madalin.linux default
madalin@lima-default:~$

Or if you use the lima wrapper:

$ export LIMA_WORKDIR=/home/madalin.linux
$ lima
madalin@lima-default:~$
