UPDATE ON VIRTIOFS: The destructive behaviour can only happen on Linux because it is specific to mounting

/home/*

into the VM, which doesn't happen on macOS (it is called

/Users

on macOS, so won't conflict with

/home

inside the VM). I suspect nobody ran into this so far because

virtiofs

doesn't actually work on Linux unless you install the Rust implementation of

virtiofsd

on the host, which most people probably don't do. Which in this case is a good thing...
