I followed the instructions at

https://virtio-win.github.io/Knowledge-Base/Virtiofs:-Shared-file-system

to mount two different F40 host file systems from Win11 KVM guest.

However, the mount does not survive guest reboot so I wrote a little batch file I have to execute during each guest start.

Is there a different way how to make the mount permanent?

Thanks
Frank



Hi Frank,

Are your mounts cifs or Virtiofs?

If Virtiofs, did you remember to set  "VirtIO-FS Service"
to "Automatic"?

Actually, what you describe relates to single shared fs. In case of multiple shared virtual filesystems the VirtioFsSvc is stopped permanently.

The host shares are mounted from the guest using

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\bin\launchctl-x64.exe" start virtiofs viofsZ mount_tag0 Z:

where mount_tag0 is the name given to the share in KVM configuration.

Each mounted fs (Z, Y, X etc.) has its own virtiofs running.

This way you can mount any number of shares from the guest.  The only problem is that the mount does not survive guest reboot.  Hence the necessity for the batchfile.

Cheers
Frank




Hi Frank,

That explains it.  And I am writing that command down.
Thank you!

Make sure to follow the whole instructions in the above mentioned URL. You have to establish the registry entries first, before attempting to mount the shares.

Cheers
Frank


Got it!  Thank you!
