i had a similar question since i've been happy with p9fs. the virtiofs
faq states (https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/):
"Existing solutions to this problem, such as virtio-9p, are based on
existing network protocols that are not optimized for virtualization use
cases. As a result they do not perform as well as local file systems and
do not provide the semantics that some applications rely on.
Virtiofs takes advantage of the virtual machine’s co-location with the
hypervisor to avoid overheads associated with network file systems."
that seems super reasonable to me. i also think there is windows
support for virtiofs which is probably another benefit.
