Re: [Qemu-devel] [Consult] nfs-vsocks support

2018-04-16 Thread Roy, Arindam
Hi Jing,
Busybox is a standalone statically linked bash env.
You can download the source from here:
https://busybox.net/downloads/

Or you can just download and copy it to your /usr/sbin :
https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/

The script is creating a runtime filesystem for your guest.
Its linking all the standard shell commands to busybox, so in the guest runtime 
those are executed by busybox.

Here is a script that launches nfsd and runs a guest:

Using the script, I met some problems making the
initramfs.gz. It confused me a lot... I don't have busybox under
/usr/bin or /usr/sbin. Where to get it?





It may be easier to use a full guest disk image instead of the disk
image generation in my go.sh script.  The initramfs is very specific to
the development machine I was using at the time.  The main thing to look
at the in the go.sh script is how the NFS services are launched on the
host.

Busybox is a package that is available on most Linux distributions.


I realized the rhel-7.x doesn't has busybox anymore. And yes, I used 
some other image to continue.



Before you spend more time on this, NFS over AF_VSOCK is only suitable
for developers right now.  It is not ready for production and I am not
supporting it for end users.  So if you want to hack on NFS, please go
ahead, but otherwise it's probably not what you want.

Yes, so far we didn't plan for production. And thank you very much for 
your kind response.

I have updated both host and guest kernel with vsock-nfsd repo and
installed nfs-utils in both host and guest successfully.

There're two different manuals in
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg64563.html(Quickstart 3~7)
and nfs-utils (README step 3 DAEMON STARTUP ORDER).
Which one should be the best usage?

For the first quickstart manual step 7-Mount the export from the guest,
two questions as follows.
1. why hypervisor's CID is 2? I didn't notice when it is specified?
2. Though I did step 3~7 successfully, I can't see the synchronistical
changing on host folder /export/ and guest /mnt? So how to test the
communcation between host and guest on the folder?

Thanks again!

Regarding rpc.nfsd, on my Fedora 27 system rfc.nfsd is launched by
/usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs.service.  When developing NFS over AF_VSOCK
I disable the NFS service and launch nfsd manually from the script
above.

Please use https://github.com/stefanha/linux/commits/vsock-nfsd to get
both client and server support.  The vsock-nfs branch you posted only
contains client support.

Please see "2. COMPILING FROM GIT" in the nfs-utils ./README.  You need
to run ./autogen.sh to generate the ./configure script.
