Title:
  native libgfapi  glusterfs support for virtio 9p filesystem
  passthrough

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I can add block devices on glusterfs natively to my virtual machines since 
qemu 1.3 
  I would like to see the same feature for virtio 9p filesystems added on my 
VM. 

  Accessing a filesystem mounted on the Metal is my favorite solution
  for storage that is to be shared between more than one VM. But because
  my VMs are not running as root, they are not able to passthrough
  userids and gids to gluster-fuse. uid mapping is also not possible
  because no xattr support.

  So all I can do is either setting up seperate NFS Servers to bring the
  Filesystem in via Network, or to start qemu as root or to add
  fuse_xattr on top of glusterfs_fuse. I do expect however that the
  fastest and most relieable solution is to make something like this
  possible:

  -fsdev
  
local,id=test_dev,path=gluster://this.node/test_mount,security_model=passthrough
  -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=test_dev,mount_tag=test_mount

  regards

      Hans
