Description
Description
In my Azure TRE deployment I am trying to access shared storage from a Linux VM, deployed via guacamole. I can see there's a storage account, and it has a file share in it of the right size, but when I create a Linux VM I don't see anything but the root filesystem. I would expect to see my file share mounted there.
Without the shared storage, I'm stuck with only the local storage on the VM. That makes it hard for me to share my work across multiple machines - e.g. a small one for development and a larger one for heavy computation, which may be switched off much of the time. It also means I lose my work completely if I forget and delete my VM.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Azure TRE deployment path for Guacamole-created Linux VMs, then inspect how the storage account and file share are exposed to those VMs. The work is done when a Linux VM can access the existing shared file share alongside its root filesystem and the behavior is validated across the intended VM workflow.
