Control: tag -1 - moreinfo + confirmed upstream
Control: retitle -1 9pfs should report actual init-time errors
Control: severity -1 wishlist

Okay. I see where the problem is.

The problem is that qemu does not report actual errors returned by the
system - in this case, to statfs() syscall which it uses when initing
the local filesystem.  So there's no way to know what problem it had
when it is unable to initialize 9pfs.

In your case it is either "Permission denied" or "No such file or
directory", referring to path /home/stevie/Documents/PWK.  Since
you already instrumented your qemu to print the actual command
line, you can run it with strace and see which syscall fails and
in which way right before it reports the error (the only syscall
in this context is statfs()).

I'm retitling and remarking this bugreport, making it a wishlist
for qemu to report actual errors during init of 9pfs, which is
what it actually about.  I'll ping upstream about this.

Thanks,

/mjt
