What actually needed changing in nfs-ganesha to support virtio-vsock ? I thought that on the host side we wouldn't need any changes, because QEMU would just talk to a regular NFS server over TCP, and the only virtio-vsock changes would be in QEMU and the guest kernel. > Does this sound like a responsibility that libvirt should handle? Certainly, we'll want to have libvirt manage host side setup tasks that may be required, not least to control security policy wrt VMs accessing filesystem exports.
