New build with 9.2 and in creating a storage pool there is two extra features (Host, Source path), but no [documentation](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/configuring_and_managing_virtualization/managing-storage-for-virtual-machines_configuring-and-managing-virtualization#creating-directory-based-storage-pools-using-the-web-console_assembly_managing-virtual-machine-storage-pools-using-the-web-console) describing there functions for cli nor web console.

Does anyone know?

UPDATE:  
After meditating on the box hint for a moment, its appears you can mount an exported folder from another host… 🙃

UPDATE 2.0:  
Ooops, I selected the wrong type, the is a NFS, I wanted Filesystem directory. 🤣
