Hi all, Back in 2012 there were patch proposals by M. Mohan Kumar [0] to add support for QEMU's 9p proxy driver. These seem to have been forgotten. I couldn't find any more chatter about them on the lists and they apparently haven't been applied. Did I miss something? It would be nice to add support for this driver. Cheers [0] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-September/msg00444.html
The original author has never sent a new version of the patch and nobody else from the community seems to be interested in this topic enough to implement the feature. I think the focus shifted from 9pfs to NFS over virtio-vsock, although this is not yet implemented in libvirt either.
Thank you for reporting this issue to the libvirt project. Unfortunately we have been unable to resolve this issue due to insufficient maintainer capacity and it will now be closed. This is not a reflection on the possible validity of the issue, merely the lack of resources to investigate and address it, for which we apologise. If you none the less feel the issue is still important, you may choose to report it again at the new project issue tracker https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues The project also welcomes contribution from anyone who believes they can provide a solution.
