Or you could just map a directory on the host into /var/lib/mock/result in the guest, using the virtio-9p filesystem feature of KVM. Basically this gives you shared filesystem, but without any TCP/networking involved. NB, works with KVM in Fedora hosts, but not RHEL which does not ship 9p support Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
