So then the question is, why does it matter what virtiofsd is
exposing? I guess
that's the better question. The guest shouldn't have to care if it's a
directory or a file right? The mountpoint is going to be a
directory, whatever
is backing it shouldn't matter. Could you describe the exact thing
you're
trying to accomplish? Thanks,
The mount point needs to be of the same mode as the root node of the
mounted filesystem, or it’ll be inaccessible after mounting[1]. In
this case, I want to export a regular file as the root node, so the
root node must be a regular file, too:
Sorry, I meant “[…], so the mount point must be a regular file, too”.
