#9p — Public Fediverse posts

  1. So, to allow a linux vm to access a directory from Fedora host with virtio-9p, I'll need to run:

    # semanage fcontext -a -t svirt_home_t "/some/dir"
    # restorecon -vR /some/dir

    Idk why sealert offers this non-working solution instead. It's really weird.:

    # semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t 'dir'
    # restorecon -v 'dir'

    #fedora #linux #selinux #qemu #kvm #vm #virtualmachines #9p #virtio #fedora42 #virtmanager

  2. Lots of things out there say that Styx was "a variant of the 9P protocol", but I haven't found anything that says what was actually different about it.

    - The `typ` values that specify the message type are different (9P1 values start counting at 50, Styx starts counting at 0)
    - Tcwalk/Rcwalk have been removed
    - There is no authentication (so Tsession/Rsession have been removed, and Tattach/Rattach have been shortened)

    There you go.
