Hello,
I'm working on virtio-9p (so-called VirtFS) support in bhyve. Project consists
of two parts: BSD-licensed lib9p library and actual virtio-9p driver. Right now
it's able to do filesystem passthrough using 9P2000.u protocol to Linux guests.
You can check it out here: https://github.com/jceel/freebsd/tree/virtfs
Syntax:
bhyve side: append `-s ,virtio-9p,sharename=/host/path`
linux side: `mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio -o version=9p2000.u sharename
/mnt/guest/path`
Using 9p as root filesystem for Linux guests should work too.
Plans:
- Definitely in-kernel 9pfs filesystem support for FreeBSD guests using same
lib9p library
- 9P2000.L support (adds ACLs, extattrs, file locks, atomic reads/writes and so
on)
- Filesystem backend using AIO
- Ability to export multiple trees for different "aname" values using one
virtio-9p device (that's actually a low-hanging fruit)
I'm looking forward to your feedback - keep in mind that's totally
experimental/incomplete/nonworking code.
Jakub.
Hi Jakub,
This is a very cool project! Does this apply to 10-STABLE also?
Could you provide a patch for the people who are not familiar with
github?
Thanks,
Nikos
