Description xiagao 2022-11-30 06:55:34 UTC

Description of problem:
Sometimes I forgot to install winfsp.exe in windows guest, and then try to start virtiofs.exe in a terminal, the result is no error info and .exe just quits immediately.
If users are not familiar with the mechanism, they would be confused what happened and how to resolve it, so I think it's better to give some error/warning info.

When start virtiofs service but without winfsp.exe installed in service manager, it just show "... Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." and no other useful log in event viewer.




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-prewhql-229, virtio-win-1.9.30-0.el9_1.iso

Test on virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-232 with win2022 guest, it gives error message.

"The service VirtIO-FS failed to load WinFsp DLL (Status=c0000034)."

Change bug status to verified.
