Dear list, I built a win7 guest with virt-install: $virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=merdox --ram 4000 --cpu host --disk path=/dev/vg0/lv_merdox,bus=virtio,sparse=false,format=raw --cdrom /dev/cdrom --description="merdox -vm guest on host magnolia" --graphics vnc --os-type=windows --os-variant=win7 --video=vga --hvm --accelerate --network bridge=br0 --disk path=/home/gabx/isofiles/virtio-win-0.1-30.iso,device=cdrom Everything is fine so far. The only point is I can't share folders (unless using USB key). I couldn't use these arguments : -device virtio-9p-pci,id=fs0,fsdev=fsdev0,mount_tag=hostshare, only possible with $qemu-kvm. I found some tuto explaining how to share with VM Manager: Details ->add filesystem . I did it, but when : # mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L /hostshare /tmp/sharewin7 it returns : mount: special device /hostshare does not exist, with this error in logs : 9pnet_virtio: no channels available All modules are loaded (9p,9pnet,9pnet-virtio,virtio_netvirtio). I am supposed to find available mount tags in /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/9pnet_virtio/virtio<n>/mount_tag files. But I don't have /virtio<n> Is there anything I can do to solve this issue? TY for help
