+ID mapping
+==========
+
+In unprivileged mode (``qemu:///session``), mapping user/group IDs is available
+(since libvirt version TBD). After reserving an ID range from the host for your
+regular user
+
+::
+
+ $ cat /etc/subuid
+ jtomko:100000:65536
+ $ cat /etc/subgid
+ jtomko:100000:65536
+
+you can let virtiofsd map guest UIDs from 0 to 65535
+to host IDs 100000 to 165535 for example:
+
+::
+
+ <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
+ <driver type='virtiofs' queue='1024'/>
+ ...
+ <idmap>
+ <uid start='0' target='100000' count='65535'/>
+ <gid start='0' target='100000' count='65535'/>
+ </idmap>
+ </filesystem>
