Hi Wido, Thanks for your feedback.
It is a great idea to support virtio-fs. We could add VIRTIOFS as a valid value of enum ExportProtocol, and implement it in a separate plugin in the future. Have you tested virtio-fs before ? Could you share more info if possible? - is it supported by libvirt-java ? - does it support hot plug or hot unplug ? I agree with you that we should consider IPv6 (ip and firewall rules) in storagefs vm. cc abhisar.si...@shapeblue.com Kind regards, Wei On Thu, Jun 6, 2024 at 6:43 AM Wido den Hollander <w...@widodh.nl.invalid> wrote: > > > > Op 04/06/2024 om 06:04 schreef Abhisar Sinha: > > Hi, > > > > I would like to propose supporting storage filesystem as a first-class > > feature in Cloudstack. > > The File Share can be associated with one or more guest networks or vpc > > tiers and can be used by any VM on the network in a shared manner.
