Re: [libvirt-users] filesystem accessmode='passthrough'

Hello. I am trying to 'passthrough' the part of host filesystem to kvm guest. libvirt xml: <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/var/guests/mail-var'/> <target dir='mail-var'/> </filesystem> kvm is started from root. After mounting in guest mount -t 9p mail-var /mnt -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L or mount -t 9p www-var /mnt -o trans=virtio if I try to make file or directory in guest, I have problem with permissions: ruser@www:~# ls -ld /mnt/ruser/ drwxr-xr-x 2 ruser www-data 4096 May 28 13:13 /mnt/ruser/ ruser@www:~# ls -ld /mnt/tmp/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 26 09:01 /mnt/tmp/ root@www:~# touch /mnt/tmp/file1 OK: root@www:~# touch /mnt/ruser/file2 touch: cannot touch `/mnt/ruser/file2': Permission denied root@www:~# su ruser ruser@www:~$ touch /mnt/ruser/file3 touch: cannot touch `/mnt/ruser/file3': Permission denied ruser@www:~$ touch /mnt/tmp/file4 touch: setting times of `/mnt/tmp/file4': No such file or directory I have read in documentation, that in "passthrough" security model, files are stored using the same credentials as they are created on the guest (like NFS3). Suggest me, please, what is it: I do something wrong, or I must update qemu-kvm or/and libvirt to recent version, or I need to find other solution for sharing host filesystem?
