Is the /tmp/colima not correctly mounted?

Within the colima VM, I cannot create any file under /tmp/colima, though it was shown mounted (i.e. mount1)

Files on the macOS host is not visible to colima VM.

# macOS
~ $ ll /tmp/colima/file_exporter.json

I found this issue because when I was trying to mount /tmp/colima/file_exporter.json to a container, it errors. as follows.

# macOS

Here is the colima config ~/.colima/default/colima.yaml:

# Configure volume mounts for the virtual machine.
# Colima mounts user's home directory by default to provide a familiar
# user experience.
#
# EXAMPLE
# mounts:
#   - location: ~/secrets
#     writable: false
#   - location: ~/projects
#     writable: true
#
# Colima default behaviour: $HOME and /tmp/colima are mounted as writable.
# Default: []
mounts: []

colima delete and colima start resolved the issue. Do not know how.
