QEMU virtio-fs shared file system daemon | ||
======================================== | ||
|
||
Synopsis | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
**virtiofsd** [*OPTIONS*] | ||
|
||
Description | ||
----------- | ||
|
||
Share a host directory tree with a guest through a virtio-fs device. This | ||
program is a vhost-user backend that implements the virtio-fs device. Each | ||
virtio-fs device instance requires its own virtiofsd process. | ||
|
||
This program is designed to work with QEMU's ``--device vhost-user-fs-pci`` | ||
but should work with any virtual machine monitor (VMM) that supports | ||
vhost-user. See the Examples section below. | ||
|
||
This program must be run as the root user. Upon startup the program will | ||
switch into a new file system namespace with the shared directory tree as its | ||
root. This prevents "file system escapes" due to symlinks and other file | ||
system objects that might lead to files outside the shared directory. The | ||
program also sandboxes itself using seccomp(2) to prevent ptrace(2) and other | ||
vectors that could allow an attacker to compromise the system after gaining | ||
control of the virtiofsd process. | ||
|
||
Options | ||
------- | ||
|
||
.. program:: virtiofsd | ||
|
||
.. option:: -h, --help | ||
|
||
Print help. | ||
|
||
.. option:: -V, --version | ||
|
||
Print version. | ||
|
||
.. option:: -d | ||
|
||
Enable debug output. | ||
|
||
.. option:: --syslog | ||
|
||
Print log messages to syslog instead of stderr. | ||
|
||
.. option:: -o OPTION | ||
|
||
* debug - | ||
Enable debug output. | ||
|
||
* flock|no_flock - | ||
Enable/disable flock. The default is ``no_flock``. | ||
|
||
* log_level=LEVEL - | ||
Print only log messages matching LEVEL or more severe. LEVEL is one of | ||
``err``, ``warn``, ``info``, or ``debug``. The default is ``info``. | ||
|
||
* norace - | ||
Disable racy fallback. The default is false. | ||
|
||
* posix_lock|no_posix_lock - | ||
Enable/disable remote POSIX locks. The default is ``posix_lock``. | ||
|
||
* readdirplus|no_readdirplus - | ||
Enable/disable readdirplus. The default is ``readdirplus``. | ||
|
||
* source=PATH - | ||
Share host directory tree located at PATH. This option is required. | ||
|
||
* timeout=TIMEOUT - | ||
I/O timeout in seconds. The default depends on cache= option. | ||
|
||
* writeback|no_writeback - | ||
Enable/disable writeback cache. The cache alows the FUSE client to buffer | ||
and merge write requests. The default is ``no_writeback``. | ||
|
||
* xattr|no_xattr - | ||
Enable/disable extended attributes (xattr) on files and directories. The | ||
default is ``no_xattr``. | ||
|
||
.. option:: --socket-path=PATH | ||
|
||
Listen on vhost-user UNIX domain socket at PATH. | ||
|
||
.. option:: --fd=FDNUM | ||
|
||
Accept connections from vhost-user UNIX domain socket file descriptor FDNUM. | ||
The file descriptor must already be listening for connections. | ||
|
||
.. option:: --thread-pool-size=NUM | ||
|
||
Restrict the number of worker threads per request queue to NUM. The default | ||
is 64. | ||
|
||
.. option:: --cache=none|auto|always | ||
|
||
Select the desired trade-off between coherency and performance. ``none`` | ||
forbids the FUSE client from caching to achieve best coherency at the cost of | ||
performance. ``auto`` acts similar to NFS with a 1 second metadata cache | ||
timeout. ``always`` sets a long cache lifetime at the expense of coherency. | ||
|
||
Examples | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
Export ``/var/lib/fs/vm001/`` on vhost-user UNIX domain socket | ||
``/var/run/vm001-vhost-fs.sock``: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
host# virtiofsd --socket-path=/var/run/vm001-vhost-fs.sock -o source=/var/lib/fs/vm001 | ||
host# qemu-system-x86_64 \ | ||
-chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/vm001-vhost-fs.sock \ | ||
-device vhost-user-fs-pci,chardev=char0,tag=myfs \ | ||
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=4G,share=on \ | ||
-numa node,memdev=mem \ | ||
... | ||
guest# mount -t virtiofs myfs /mnt |
