[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] SAMBA multi-share support

[Stealth Dave]

Apparently it was an easier itch to scratch than I thought it would be! 
:)  Attached is a patch which allows multiple samba shares to be loaded 
within the qemu virtual machine.  The old syntax is still supported and 
is completely backwards compatible.  Each folder and share name is 
separated by a colon (:), and each folder/share pair is separated by a 
comman.  To share multiple folders, use the following syntax:

qemu hd.img -smb /path/to/dir1:share1,/path/to/dir2:share2

dir1 can be mounted as "share1", dir2 as "share2", etc.  The number of 
shares is limited by a total of 1024 characters, but is otherwise 
unlimited.  There is no sanity checking, as an error would simply cause 
the smb daemon to not launch but otherwise not affect the running of 
qemu.  Using the old syntax:

qemu hd.img -smb /path/to/dir

will fall back to the old behavior of being shared at "qemu".  The 
attached patch applies cleanly to current CVS, and updates vl.c and 
qemu-doc.texi (documentation update).

P.S. - Anyone want to tackle that compressed vm file? :D
