better file sharing between os4 on qemu and windows, how ?

@all
Currently to exchange files between os4 on qemu and hosts window11, i add to qemu usb stick, like this:


It works, but problem that if i do changes from amigaos4 side, then data is refreshed on windows, all ok. But if i do any change from windows size, then data isn't refreshed inside of os4 (because usb-stick wasn't plugged off/plugged on), and i need always to reboot qemu for just seeing new file to appear in this virtual usb stick.

So far tried that with usb way:

- "usbctrl restart" didn't refresh new content.
- dismount usb0: , creating mount list, and then mount usb0: didn't refresh new content as well

Question is: is there any better way ? Not samba or any network kind solution, but something like you mount partition as a disk, and all change from os4 side visibly immediately from windows side, and in other way around too. Like on winuae when you set "mount windows partitions"

Thanks!

I have the same issues with Linux and the USB device updates. So, it seems it doesn't have to do with the host OS.

As much as I tried to find a way to mount a folder as a hard disk, this was not possible. The other solution could be to use an ISO, but this will require much more work than just restart the emulation.

I am interested in a better solution as well.

And a shared folder on the Amiga side (or windows) and then using samba to mount such shared volume?

At least restarting qemu with fully booted os4 take 15 seconds on my setup (i use peg2 + bboot) , so it's not that big issue, but still, you need always reboot and reopen all apps and winsowses/shells again :(

Yeah, Samba will work for sure, just didn't want to worry with network for now, and hoping for something trivial ..
