Dear Maintainer,
The Xen build of Qemu lacks 9pfs support, which results in guests unable to
mount 9pfs shares defined in the domU configuration file.
This kind of setup was working correctly in bullseye, before the binaries were
split.
The failure is silent on the host side. Qemu does not error out and Xen starts
the domU as if the 9pfs backend was set up successfully.
Inside the guest, the kernel spits out an error after a 270 seconds delay (see
attachment).
Oh well. That smells broken. But ok.
The solution is to compile qemu-system-xen with --enable-virtfs
Yeah. Enabled it in git/master, will push to unstable with next upload.
For bookworm, this hopefully will be fixed in the next point release.
This option also requires --enable-attr --enable-cap-ng
It is interesting that neither of these 2 libs are present in
the final executable linkage.
Thanks,
/mjt
