Subject: Re: [virt-tools-list] Linux host / Windows guest sharing
Thank you. The clipboard sharing working now. Do you have any idea for
the mount issue? I suppose there is a way to share a specific directory
between the guest and host like I did with vbox for example
What exact modules needed for this function?
The error message I've got this:
mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L hostshare /tmp/hostfiles
mount: special device hostshare does not exist
syslog:
9pnet_virtio: no channels available

It appears that you're trying to run the mount command in your host. As far as I know
(I've never really used this feature), you should be mounting the shared folder within
the guest, but windows doesn't really support the 9p filesystem. Other alternatives
include mounting a SMB share on both the host and the guest. Spice also has basic support
for file transfers from the host to guest (just drag and drop a file icon onto your
virt-viewer window and it should automatically transfer it to the guest). Marc-andre is
also working on a webdav sharing feature for spice, but it's still in development.
