[libvirt-users] Sharing a host directory with a Windows guest
I'm running libvirt un a CentOS 7.2 host and have created a Windows 10 VM under that. I've been researching how to share a folder on my host with the Windows guest VM but can't figure out if it's possible. I've added the code <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/> <source dir='var/lib/mydata`'/> <target dir='/mydata'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> to the xml definition of my Windows VM but I assume something needs to be configured on the VM side as well. Is there a way to accomplish this? Peter

I guess you need to install drivers: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers However, I'm not sure whether 9p driver is there or not. Michal
