I can connect to samba from a windows 10 VM guest on an Arch host with QEMU, but when I load the VM with libvirt, it can't see the network.
It's a bit crazy how difficult it is to access a host folder. I have tried the following with no success: samba (only works in QEMU), remote desktop, spice-webdav, filesystem via virt-viewer, Plan 9 and libguestfs.
libguestfs crashes with a:
But this has been confirmed to be a bug in the way it parses the version numbers, but the latest GitHub patched version won't compile on Arch.
The ONLY one that worked so far is samba and only when loaded with QEMU, not VMM, which is odd as VMM uses QEMU, so I assume it must be the XML, but I can't see anything wrong.
Am I missing something?
Here is how I load the VM in QEMU VM:
Here is the XML for the libvirt VM:
If I add the following commandline args to the XMLfile, libvirt crashes with a meaningless (to me) error (see attached)
![]()
![]()
