Hi,

I am having some issues trying to mount storage located outside the default workingDir path on a Windows 10 OF installation. Storage limitations prevent me from storing my project in "My Documents". In order to mount the new Virtualbox shared drive, I need to access the root account.

It isn't as simple as using 'su', as I don't know the password.

If I open the Virtualbox instance, it gives me a root account, I can change the password - but it doesn't affect the OF instance at all. This is obvious when listing users (cat /etc/passwd), as "ofuser" is not listed. I can see the Virtualbox share I am interested in from here.

I can log into root by starting a new docker instance (docker run -i -t of_v1606plus_centos66_win /bin/bash), but these changes do not seem to apply to the current instance of OF. I can't see the Virtualbox share here.

Additionally, I have tried using a Windows 10 symbolic link, but CentOS crashes complaining of too many levels of symbolic links.

Is there a way of accessing the root account, or some magical way I can mount another windows partition?
