Title:
native libgfapi glusterfs support for virtio 9p filesystem
passthrough
Status in QEMU:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I can add block devices on glusterfs natively to my virtual machines since
qemu 1.3
I would like to see the same feature for virtio 9p filesystems added on my
VM.
Accessing a filesystem mounted on the Metal is my favorite solution
for storage that is to be shared between more than one VM. But because
my VMs are not running as root, they are not able to passthrough
userids and gids to gluster-fuse. uid mapping is also not possible
because no xattr support.
So all I can do is either setting up seperate NFS Servers to bring the
Filesystem in via Network, or to start qemu as root or to add
fuse_xattr on top of glusterfs_fuse. I do expect however that the
fastest and most relieable solution is to make something like this
possible:
-fsdev
local,id=test_dev,path=gluster://this.node/test_mount,security_model=passthrough
-device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=test_dev,mount_tag=test_mount
