Some background info:
Host: Proxmox 8.4.1
Relevant Host Filesystems (2): Mergerfs 2.40.2 consolidating plain old ext4 disks; ZFS mirror with two disks
Guest: Debian 12 (bookworm)
All I'm trying to do is to share two existing directories on the Proxmox host with a Debian guest VM on the host. I followed the instructions in the help file (/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_virtiofs) as well as a tutorial (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/p...er-for-linux-and-or-windows-guest-vms.167435/) but run into problems when attempting to mount in the guest VM.
Initially, I tried doing everything in the GUI. First, I went into Datacenter/Directory Mappings and created two mappings. Both directories are existing directories and I received no errors when creating them. Second, I clicked on the relevant guest VM, selected Hardware, selected Add, then selected Virtiofs. I selected one of the two available Directory IDs and left everything else as is, then clicked OK. However, at this stage, I noticed that the entries added for Virtiofs in the GUI were orange, which presumably indicates a problem of some sort.
Anyway, I tried forging on, entered into the console for the guest VM, created directors to serve as mountpoints and tried mounting, resulting in this error:
dmesg indicates
I figured I might get more insight if I tried using the command line to setup on the host. 110 is the ID for the Debian guest, but all seems fine
I've gone through the help file steps a couple of times but appear to be following the instructions exactly. Same with the tutorial. But still keep getting this error.
I'm at a loss as to how to resolve or further diagnose. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
