The general form of a File system device option is:
|
||||
@table @option
|
||||
|
||||
@item -fsdev @var{fstype} ,id=@var{id} [,@var{options}]
|
||||
@item -fsdev @var{fsdriver},id=@var{id},path=@var{path},security_model=@var{security_model}[,writeout=@var{writeout}]
|
||||
@findex -fsdev
|
||||
Fstype is one of:
|
||||
@option{local},
|
||||
The specific Fstype will determine the applicable options.
|
||||
|
||||
Options to each backend are described below.
|
||||
|
||||
@item -fsdev local ,id=@var{id} ,path=@var{path} ,security_model=@var{security_model}[,writeout=@var{writeout}]
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file-system-"device" for local-filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
@option{local} is only available on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
@option{path} specifies the path to be exported. @option{path} is required.
|
||||
|
||||
@option{security_model} specifies the security model to be followed.
|
||||
@option{security_model} is required.
|
||||
|
||||
@option{writeout} specifies whether to skip the host page cache.
|
||||
@option{writeout} is an optional argument.
|
||||
|
||||
Define a new file system device. Valid options are:
|
||||
@table @option
|
||||
@item @var{fsdriver}
|
||||
This option specifies the fs driver backend to use.
|
||||
Currently "local" and "handle" file system drivers are supported.
|
||||
@item id=@var{id}
|
||||
Specifies identifier for this device
|
||||
@item path=@var{path}
|
||||
Specifies the export path for the file system device. Files under
|
||||
this path will be available to the 9p client on the guest.
|
||||
@item security_model=@var{security_model}
|
||||
Specifies the security model to be used for this export path.
|
||||
Supported security models are "passthrough", "mapped" and "none".
|
||||
In "passthrough" security model, files are stored using the same
|
||||
credentials as they are created on the guest. This requires qemu
|
||||
to run as root. In "mapped" security model, some of the file
|
||||
attributes like uid, gid, mode bits and link target are stored as
|
||||
file attributes. Directories exported by this security model cannot
|
||||
interact with other unix tools. "none" security model is same as
|
||||
passthrough except the sever won't report failures if it fails to
|
||||
set file attributes like ownership.
|
||||
@item writeout=@var{writeout}
|
||||
This is an optional argument. The only supported value is "immediate".
|
||||
This means that host page cache will be used to read and write data but
|
||||
write notification will be sent to the guest only when the data has been
|
||||
reported as written by the storage subsystem.
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
|
||||
-fsdev option is used along with -device driver "virtio-9p-pci".
|
||||
@item -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=@var{id},mount_tag=@var{mount_tag}
|
||||
Options for virtio-9p-pci driver are:
|
||||
@table @option
|
||||
@item fsdev=@var{id}
|
||||
Specifies the id value specified along with -fsdev option
|
||||
@item mount_tag=@var{mount_tag}
|
||||
Specifies the tag name to be used by the guest to mount this export point
