virtio-fs is approaching a 1.0 release where it will be suitable for wider usage. Sebastien has also gotten virtio-fs working with Firecracker so that both Kata VMMs can support it.
Is there interest in merging virtio-fs 1.0 Linux and QEMU into Kata's repositories? There is a strong interest, yes. I am wondering if we should enable virtio-fs first in NEMU (Which we support with Kata) to allow for an easy preview of virtio-fs and then switch to the latest QEMU once virtio-fs support lands upstream.
Nice, the QEMU commits should merge into NEMU pretty easily. virtio-fs consists of the vhost-user-fs-pci device in hw/virtio/vhost-user-fs.c and the file system daemon in contrib/virtiofsd/. I will send a follow-up when virtio-fs 1.0 is available. Thanks, Stefan
