Multipass mount: source is not readable

  • 772

I try to mount a directory to an multipass ubuntu instance. But I get the error:

mount failed: source "<path_to_dir>" is not readable

The directory should has the correct mode: drwxrwxr-x@

On macOS Catalina.

Thanks for help.

    I ran into this as well. Thankfully, it was just a matter of enabling Full Disk Access for multipassd in Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy.

    Once I did that and then restarted Multipass (and the target VM), I was able to successfully multipass mount with no problem.
