With KVM all you need to do is format a partition, virtual or physical,
with a FAT file system and then mount that partition as the D: drive in
the virtual machine. Write your files there.
You can't have the partition mounted inside the VM and on Linux at the
same time. If you choose to use the virtual file system you can mount it
with loopback. If you use a physical partition you can use mount to
mount the partition. Then copy your files on/off the FAT partition.
I have not used virtual box so I don't know how, or if you can, mount a
second partition on you VM. YMMV
geez kvm is a bit messy ...
several ways in vbox - simplest is straightforward access to any linux
directory on the local machine via clicking on Settings->Shared Folders
[1]
Or as prev poster suggested via any network mount as well .. (local
machine or remote).
g/
[1] and you can happily access them on linux at the same time - and it
doesn't need to be part of a fat partition or anything :-)
