Re: [libvirt-users] no luck with filesystem storage type [solved]
I needed one more option to make it work:
# mount -t 9p /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /mnt/SASInstaller,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller
The page you referenced also mentions using -oversion=9p2000.L. There is some additional
info on the versions at
http://landley.net/kdocs/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt; that page says .L is the
default, while http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#Starting_the_Guest_using_libvirt
says it's .U. I don't know how to tell which I ended up with.
Thanks for the pointer.
Ross

I have a directory on the host that I would like to be visible in the

<target dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'

I created the /mnt/SASInstaller manually in the VM.
Nothing shows up. What am I missing? Do I need to run something in the VM (running
Linux) to make it work?
You need to mount it:
mount -t 9p /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller
The target 'dir' is not really a directory, it's just a mount tag.
