Description

As a Workspace User I want a storage area for my sole use, mounted into my virtual machine, so that I have my own space to work in.

Note:
Although this storage needs to be workspace specific it does not need to be private to the user, as the workspace is the security boundary. Although private storage for each user within a workspace has been discussed with users, after discussion it has been deemed not appropriate.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Per user storage available in home directory of Windows VMs
  • Per user storage available in home directory of Linux VMs

Open to suggestions as to what "home directory" means, and as to what is appropriate.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how Windows and Linux VMs are provisioned and how their home directories are defined, then determine a workspace-scoped storage approach that works for both. Done means per-user storage is available in the home directory of each VM type and both acceptance criteria are verified.
