Hi list,

So I have a KVM VM that is running Windows Server 2012. The VM must
run some VPN software, which is very restrictive. It turns out that if
would be useful to share files between this VM and other zones
(including global). However NFS cannot be used due to the VPN.

Is the following feasible:

Make a plain ZFS dataset. Make a virtual device that looks like normal
storage drive to windows, but that has a special driver that
translates windows FS calls to Unix FS calls. This way instead of
exposing a block interface, we expose a filesystem interface that can
be used by other VMs on the system while the VPN software is active.

It seems theoretically possible, I'm just not familiar with KVM
internals and would appreciate some pointers on which parts of the
code to look at to make this kind of setup work.

Thanks,
-Nick
