I am using Canonical's Multipass on a Raspberry Pi with LXD driver to start virtual machines (VMs). Given my configuration, I need to view real-time changes/updates happening in the virtual machine on the host, i.e. externally from the virtual machine. The current way I can do this is by unmounting and mounting the VM image file (.img file) from time to time which is not ideal. Is there a way of doing a real-time follow-up on the changes with the .img file?

After reaching out to the LXD project team (thanks Thomas Parrott
) the best way is not to mount the .img file but to use lxc. Given how Multipass is installed using the LXD driver we can access the VM with lxc exec <instance> --project multipass -- <cmd> <args>.
