I tested it, successful so far as it seems! Thanks again!
My usecase is a 14-CURRENT VM I mostly use for testing ports with
poudriere. It's only running when needed (cause it hogs quite some RAM)
and still I want the logs always available. So far I used NFS for that
which had some performance issues with ports producing *lots* of output
like e.g. gcc.
Now it's using 9pfs instead \o/ – will see whether this improves
performance.
----
For reference (if anyone else wants to give it a shot), here's what I
did so far:
- fetched your branch into my local src repo, rebased it onto main
- rebuilt and reinstalled the system
- tried to load the modules, noticed they're not yet included in
recursive build (remind me to add that, hehe), so manually did
make / make install in their dirs
- added virtio_9pnet and virtio_9pfs to kld_list in /etc/rc.conf
- couldn't figure out how to use it with fstab, so added this stupid
little rc script:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mountvirtfs
#v+
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: mountvirtfs
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# BEFORE: LOGIN
. /etc/rc.subr
name="mountvirtfs"
desc="mount VirtFS shares from host"
start_cmd="mountvirtfs_start"
stop_cmd=":"
mountvirtfs_start()
{
mount -t virtfs -o trans=virtio logs /usr/local/poudriere/data/logs
mount -t virtfs -o trans=virtio html /usr/local/share/poudriere/html
}
run_rc_command "$1"
#v-
Well, it works!
# mount | grep virtfs
logs on /usr/local/poudriere/data/logs (virtfs, local)
html on /usr/local/share/poudriere/html (virtfs, local)
BR, Felix
