Sharing Host Files With KVM

During my most recent server-build, I had to tackle exposing host-managed files to VMs. Previously, I used NFS. However, that was becoming increasingly troublesome, unfortunately due to IPv6. While I have an IPv6 connection and IPv6 network, my router will stop advertising the IPv6 network if the Internet goes down, causing connectivity issues. Additionally, the uncertainty of whether any connection will come as fe80:: vs my regular routable address was a pain (especially when my IPv6 network changed).
