virtiofsd

Hello, folks! I'm using some virtiofs-shares on my host. Those are connected to different VMs and I want to know, if those shares are automatically safed by the PBS in a regular backup-job or do I have to take care on those manually? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I am currently using virtiofs to mount ZFS datasets from the host into my VM with an approach derived from the one described here. With this approach I currently use 21 virtiofs shares without problems. Since proxmox (not so) recently gained support for virtiofs shares in 8.4, I...

I'm attempting to set up some virtiofs shares to VMs that require extented attributes, but can't get it working. On the host I've enabled the extended attributes flag, but when I mount the share in the guest attempting something even as simple as lsattr gives "Operation not supported". I've...

Hello together, a few weeks ago, i configured a VirtioFS for one of my VMs on one of my Proxmox Hosts. So far, its working pretty well - good performance and high stability. Its a great feature, which i am really thankful for. Thanks, Proxmox Team! About my setup: Proxmox Host with 128 GB...

I'm trying to use virtiofsd to mount a couple zfs drives in Windows as Local Drives (for a couple specific reasons that I won't get into). I've managed to make one of the drives show up once in Windows but never again. I've blown away the VM and rebuilt and am still having issues. I'm guessing...

I have the storage on my proxmox host using ZFS (not even sure if that a good idea? It's a M.2 SSD 2TB mostly for Plex) -- should I use another filesystem ? on the host I can access the file at /Storage using SSH. I have Plex runing on one LXC and connected with "pct set 100 --mp0...

I'm new to proxmox, I created a ZFS drive which is accesible on Proxmox at /Storage I wanted to make it accesible do the VM while remain accesible to the host and other CTs, I managed once, but I had to remove the VM and start over since I can't figure out how... anyway I managed to do the same...

virtiofsd is used to "passthrough" parts of a host filesystem to a virtual machine with "local filesystem symantics and performance". Proxmox moved to a rust based version of virtiofsd in PVE 8 located here. It's installed as a separate package called "virtiofsd" in PVE 8, whereas a different...
