virtual filesystem for Xen

virtual filesystem for Xen

[sainath grandhi]

 Hello,
     Is there any qemu virtio-9p type of file system virtualization
solution available for xen PV guests?
     I am looking for a solution by which I can share a directory on
host (dom 0) to a dom U.
     Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

virtio-9p is not currently working with Xen guests. Although, we have an 
Outreachy participant [1] working on an implementation for Xen.

Thanks Julien for the input.
I came across a blog that talks about virtual file system, but there
are no code pointers mentioned in the blog.
https://blog.xenproject.org/2009/03/26/status-of-xenfs/. This post is
from 2009 though.
Are you aware of this work?


Thanks
Sainath

AFAIK xenfs was an area of research back then which never made it to
completion. I don't know of any extant code or repositories etc and Mark
is no longer active in the community.

(don't confuse xenfs with Linux's xenfs file system, which provides
the /proc/xen interfaces but are nothing to do with filesystems in the
sense you want here).
