Package: qemu Version: 0.6.1+20050407-1 Severity: wishlist it would be very useful to be able to mount local directories within the qemu guest OS (rather than only being able to mount local disk images as qemu hard disks or using samba). for example,
qemu -hda /home/tux/os.img -mounthdb /home/tux/files would mount my local /home/tux/files directory as drive b: under the windows guest. of course, "-hdb" in conjunction with "-mounthdb" would be a user error, and hard disk booting could not be done from a mounted directory. the "-smb" option is similar to this, but it requires working networking. i don't want my guest OS to have network access for security reasons, and thus, i cannot use the "-smb" option. i want to be able to readily move files created by the guest OS without stopping the OS, mounting the hard drive image as a loop device, retrieving the files, and restarting qemu. i want to run qemu and be able to manipulate the created files on the fly in a local directory without rebooting the guest OS. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.1.1+20041109-3 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-4.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii vgabios 0.5a-1 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
