Public bug reported: The current build of qemu-kvm-spice in precise does not support the virtual fs or folder sharing from host to guest. VirtualFS support requires that qemu-kvm-spice is built with libattr1-dev and libcap-dev installed, no other changes needed as it's enabled if these dependencies are found. I rebuilt qemu-linaro source with the attached debdiff attached and now the VirtualFS is enabled. It would be great to have this in precise.
See for more info http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup - Upstream document about the feature http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsFilesystems - How to enable the VirtualFS feature using libvirt based VMs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/782973 - Bug against the qemu-kvm package requesting to support VirtualFS. Since this bug report, also libcap-dev is required. --- ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: qemu-kvm-spice 1.0.50-2012.03-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm SHELL=/bin/bash LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-20.32-generic 3.2.12 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-20-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: ** Affects: qemu-kvm-spice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-collected precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966849 Title: Please enable VirtFS support by rebuilding against libattr1 and libcap2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm-spice/+bug/966849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
