And one more question, is socket and named pipe files supported?

If supported, how could we prevent from the unexpected host-guest communication.

If not, what will happened if

- the guest try to create a socket on the shared dir. - the host has a socket in the dir.

Maybe I should read the code and test it 😀

No, there is no inter-VM communication through UNIX domain sockets or named pipes. Opening such files just results in local IPC within the VM. Stefan
