Hello,

I was wondering about virt-manager support for the file-sharing option between 
host and guest in RedHat, CentOS and Fedora.

This appears to be grey out and a complaint about the inability of the 
installed combination of
libvirt and qemu to support this option is displayed. The link below shows the 
virt-manager screen
WITHOUT the grey-out filesystem option.

http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio

For redhat based linuxes though this appears to be always greyed out in stock 
builds(even without 9p
and even when Qemu supports the file sharing option). Why is this?
