Nice fix. I wonder if using virtiofs would be more performant: https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/ https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/

- linuxhackerman 4y agoI've been planning to implement NixOS tests based on virtiofs instead of 9p for a while, but haven't got it working yet (at the time I tried, the available uid mapping strategies didn't cover what was needed for NixOS tests; there's a patch which I haven't got around to trying out yet though.) and this big improvement takes the pain away a bit so my motivation to finish that off is lower. I'll be sure to write about it if I do though!
- tracnar 4y agoGreat, curious to see what you discover!
- rwmj 4y agoAll the development attention is on virtiofs these days and 9pfs is basically deprecated. QEMU developers would certainly recommend switching.
