Helo,
I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for KVM - virtualization.
I want to use folder on host machine in my VM.
I read this article:
https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio
And, then I try to share folder /tmp/share on host for using in WP-cats VM.
But, problems started at the very beginning.
My VM stopped running with next error:
(see Pix on end of message)
or, little more detail - see next pix on end of message.
I try to googled advice, and check most "popular supposes".
And I want to add next info to my question:
0) I use command
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual
for install necessary components on host.
I use command sudo lsmod | grep 9p for check loading the kernel modules, as result:
1) Folder
/tmp/share exist in host FS and user rights maximized:
chmod +777 share
as result
2)In config file of my VM (virsh dumpxml WP-cats) I see next info:
3) May be, I need manually configure "mysterious" fs-driver with id: fsdev-fs0 ?
But, how?
Can you please advise?
thanks in advance.
