I have a 32b Fedora 15 guest mounting a filesystem from an Ubuntu 11.10 64b host using virtio and 9p. I'm using the "mapping" security mode (tried squash as well). While I can create, edit, and delete files, when I try to create or clone a git repository, I end up with garbage for the first bit of the newly created .git config. $ kvm --version QEMU emulator version 0.14.1 (qemu-kvm-0.14.1), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard $ uname -a Linux rage 3.0.0-12-server #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 16:36:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ virt-manager --version Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" 0.9.0 The underlying filesystem on the host is an md RAID0 array mounted as: /dev/md0 on /build type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,commit=6000) I was hoping to use 9p/virtio to avoid having to generate a number of larger vm images which I'm using to build full OSes. I'd like the resulting images to be easily accessible on the host.
