Greetings -
I'm not sure this is the best group to ask the following question but
I'll start here.
I use qemu to develop openwrt code. I currently use a 9p mount to share
my code/cross-compile directory to the arm guest in order to run/test
the code. openwrt uses the musl library so this works pretty well.
I use Ubuntu 18.04 for host, qemu 5.1, openwrt 19.07 for guest. I
configure/make both the qemu executable and openwrt kernel/rootfs.
My research indicates virtiofsd is now the preferred way to share host
dirs to the guest and I see points in the qemu 5.1 code that reference
virtiofsd.
* https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/virtiofsd.html
* There is a $Q_TOP/tools/virtiofsd directory which is empty.
* `find . -name "Makefile*" | xargs grep virtiofsd` shows a lot of hits.
I cannot figure out how to create virtiofsd using my QEMU 5.1 source
tree. And the instructions at
`https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/howto-qemu.html` fail spectatularly.
I must be missing something obvious; please point me in the right
direction. 9P still works fine so I'm not interested in spending a lot
of time on this.
