Hi there, I'm hoping I'm on the right mailing list with my question. I'm currently running a FreeBSD guest on an libvirt and KVM based hypervisor. On said machine I'm mounting a folder located on the hv using SMB. I've used NFS in the past but switched to samba for performance reasons, which helped a lot but it's still a bottle neck. So I thought about using virtio's 9p mapping. I'm aware that there is currently an ongoing effort on porting 9pfs to bhyve in order to serve Linux guests with a file system pass-through but after an extended amount of research I couldn't find information on how to mount a 9p shared directory within a FreeBSD guest. Is it possible to do so? If so: could anyone point me to appropriate documentation please? If not: Is there any better way to do so? Thanks in advance! Doralitze P.S. I've got root privileges on the hypervisor and installing packages on that machine is possible but I'm afraid switching to VMWare or Virtualbox isn't an option.
