Because linux already has 9pfs implemented over virtio-pci, so the three missing pieces are: 1. qemu: passing the operations over a spice channel (instead of directly running them on the host in ./hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-local.c)A 2. windows driver 3. client support > > > > Thanks, looking forward to your answers. > > > > > > > > > > > > References > > Visible links > 1. http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
