Hello Folks
It's with some trepidation that I venture on to such a heady newsgroup,
but I'm about ready to throw myself off a bridge after getting this all
set up and apparently working only to be struck down by permissions and
selinux hell (either, or both).
I've followed instructions here:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup
http://troglobit.github.io/blog/2013/07/05/file-system-pass-through-in-kvm-slash-qemu-slash-libvirt/
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio
The page at the last link helpfully concludes:
Note: likely to hit some issues w/ privileges since Fedora libvirt runs
guests unprivileged and with SELinux confinement...careful use of chown,
chmod and chcon should get it working
And, that's the most useful information I've been able to find...

When I try touch or cat the hellos selinux-troubleshoot throws a wobbly.
I've logged that as a bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234067
I figure it must be possible to give some fairly straight forward
instruction (even for me) on what permissions to set where to get this
working...
If anyone can help, I would be very very grateful (and happy:)
Thanks,
M
