—
VirtIO 9p front-end driver
In conjunction with mount_9p(8),
the vio9p
driver enables a
NetBSD system running as a VM guest to mount an
exported file system by the host via virtio-9p. It exports a 9p end-point of
virtio-9p via a character device file for
mount_9p(8).
Each exported file system is assigned a character device and
accessible via /dev/vio9p0,
/dev/vio9p1 and so on, respectively, in exporting
order by the host.
The following command mounts the first exported file system by the host at
/mnt/9p:
# mount_9p -cu /dev/vio9p0 /mnt/9p
The vio9p
driver first appeared in
NetBSD 10.0.
