Hi, Now that Cam is almost done with his ivshmem patches, I was thinking of another idea for GSoC which is improving the pass-though filesystems. I've got some questions on that: 1- What does the community prefer to use and improve? CIFS, 9p, or both? And which is better taken up for GSoC. 2- With respect to CIFS. I wonder how the shares are supposed to be exposed to the guest. Should the Samba server be modified to be able to use unix domain sockets instead of TCP ports and then QEMU communicating on these sockets. With that approach, how should the guest be able to see the exposed share? And what is the problem of using Samba with TCP ports? 3- In addition, I see the idea mentions that some Windows code needs to be written to use network shares on a special interface. What's that interface? And what's the nature of that Windows code? (a driver a la "guest additions"?)
