Re: Sharing files between host and guest under KVM

Depending on the type of datas you have, the easiest way would be to have something like a nas and access to your data through network.
This way there will no problem accessing your datas from both host and guest.
A similar way to do this might be to create a docker container running with a specific partition the disk won't touch, and same way put it on the local network imo, did not test that though.

If you are using virt-manager to manage the the VM add a disk and have a look at the different disk types I think there may be a filesystem option, although I don't have a machine in front of me to confirm it.

Or put the things you need in a directory and run mkisofs against it to create a temporary ISO and mount that.

Or use the Spice console instead of the vnc console and add a USB redirection device so you can pass through USB devices from the host to the guest and copy the things on to an intermediate USB stick.

Or If your VM is using a qcow2 image investigate the guestfish tools for directly editing the disk image. I'd not recommend this on a running VM though.
