Ok, I was able to configure the virtfs (9p) sharing between host and guest in mapped mode. Now another issue: when I mount the same shared with a 2nd guest, automatically I'm no longer able to write on the shared neither from guest_1 nor from guest_2. Can somebody seed some light on this issue? Thanks.
