Hello,
I've been trying to boot a VM with the rootfs being a 9P share from
the host. The VM OS is centos 7.
The OS boots but no services can work and it appears that the
authentication system is broken.
Now the funny thing is that booting the same OS on the same 9P share
manually with Qemu works as expected with a fully functionnal OS... So
I'm wondering what could libvirt do that render the OS on the share
broken - Something with rights ?
Selinux is disabled on the host, and accessmode to the share is set to
passthrough in both cases.
Here's my working Qemu line:
qemu
-kernel /srv/overlay/kernels/grsec-3.14.33-101/vmlinuz-3.14.33-101.el6.x86_64 \
-initrd /srv/overlay/kernels/grsec-3.14.33-101/initramfs-3.14.33-101.el6.x86_64.img \
-fsdev
local,id=r,path=/srv/overlay/run/irc,security_model=passthrough \
-device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=r,mount_tag=root \
-nographic \
-m 256M \
-machine pc-i440fx-2.1,accel=kvm \
-netdev tap,id=net0 -device
virtio-net,netdev=net0,mac=52:54:00:12:36:34 \
-smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1 \
-append 'root=virtfs:root rootflags=trans=virtio,version=9p2000.u ro
rootfstype=9p console=ttyS0'
And here my libvirt VM config:

My libvirt version is 1.2.9, and qemu is 2.1.2.
Thanks for your help,
Olivier

So I updated libvirt to 1.2.12 and qemu to 2.1.3 and it still gives me
the exact same behaviour ...
Could it be that the share was created with an old version of
virt-manager redenring in old/broken XML? From Qemu config example i
don't see how my XML could be incorrect.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Olivier
