Mounting additional filesystems on a target system
If you require larger files and the image you run doesn't have enough space

add permissions to share folders and add the username you intend to
use to connect to the shared folder with to secure the shared folder.
- On the target, run the fs-cifs command specifying
the hostname, IP address, and name of the shared folder and the mount

credentials:
# fs-cifs -l //machinename:10.123.45.67:/share /mnt/share

On Linux or macOS:

point you want created on the target, and then enter your network
