Yes, absolutely — I just assumed that with "VM image". But maybe that
was a wrong assumption. :) If the machine is running, it's best to
think of it as not an image but just another machine on the network.

+1. Or, possibly, go the other way around, and mount a host filesystem
into the guest, depending on what you want/need. You can also use
9p_virtio <http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio>.
