VirtFS: Cannot mount 9p during boot
I use as client Debian squeeze i386 with a custom kernel:
Linux (none) 2.6.35.5 #3 Thu Sep 23 18:36:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
And as host Debian squeeze amd64
Linux asd 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 21:50:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
kvm version is:
kvm-88-5908-gdd67374
Started the client using:
sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -kernel linux-2.6.35.5.qemu -drive file=root.img,if=virtio -net nic,macaddr=02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be,model=virtio,vlan=1 -net tap,ifname=tap1,vlan=1,script=no -virtfs local,path=/host,security_model=passthrough,mount_tag=host -nographic
I noticed that I cannot mount it (mapped or passthrough) using /etc/rc.local or /etc/fstab, but after login as root using
mount /mnt
or
mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio host /mnt
(the same stuff i tried inside /etc/rc.local)
The only output on a failed mount in rc.local/fstab I get is
[ 15.035920] device: '9p-1': device_add
[ 15.038180] 9p: no channels available
[ 15.038937] device: '9p-1': device_unregister
[ 15.049123] device: '9p-1': device_create_release
The stuff in /etc/fstab is:
host /mnt 9p trans=virtio 0 0
I intercepted the boot by adding `set -v; set +e; mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio host_share /mnt; /bin/sh` on top of my /etc/rc.local:
... but than it works quite well... well that is not what I expected. So I changed it to `set -v; mount /mnt || true; /bin/sh`.. and then it doesn't work anymore... mysterios but hey, did you notice that the share is actually called host and not host_share as I wrote inside the rc.local. So why does it work at all? Let me change it to `set -v; set +e; mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio host /mnt; /bin/sh` and reboot again.
What should i say: it says:
[ 8.004754] device: '9p-1': device_add
[ 8.006446] 9p: no channels available
[ 8.007156] device: '9p-1': device_unregister
[ 8.008650] device: '9p-1': device_create_release
mount: No such file or directory
But i have a shell now and can type the mount stuff inside it:
$ mount -v -t 9p -o trans=virtio host /mnt
mount -v -t 9p -o trans=virtio host /mnt
[ 70.982688] device: '9p-2': device_add

[ 70.992937] device: '9p-2': device_create_release

I rebooted again and now just ctrl+d in my rc.local shell to get to my real root login with zsh:

[ 224.087952] device: '9p-2': device_add
host on /mnt type 9p (rw,trans=virtio)
So the next step was to change my login shell to /bin/sh (dash) and reboot:
$ id

$ env
USER=root
MAIL=/var/mail/root
OLDPWD=/root

$ mount -v -t 9p -o trans=virtio host /mnt
[ 15.330643] device: '9p-2': device_add
host on /mnt type 9p (rw,trans=virtio)
Next step was to boot up, change my env and then use the correct mount:
$ for i in USER MAIL OLDPWD HOME HUSHLOGIN PS1 LOGNAME TERM PATH SHELL PWD; do unset $i; done
$ env
$ /bin/mount -v -t 9p -o trans=virtio host /mnt
[ 431.742839] device: '9p-2': device_add
host on /mnt type 9p (rw,trans=virtio)
