Fwd: Installing virtiofs drivers on Windows 11....

[Mario Marietto]

I'm confused. Anyway,since I don't know how it works virtiofs,I'm using
virtio-9p every day. So I can say that bhyve already supports virtio-9p.
This is how I make it work under Linux :

-s 8,virtio-9p,sharename=<host-dir-path>

In the guest I need something like :

mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,rw sharename /mnt

I assume that what's missing on Windows 10 is only the ability to mount the
shared folder. Since mount is a linux command and windows 10 / 11 supports
linux with it's proper kernel,a good idea could be to try to mount the
shared resource within the WSL2  :)
