Re: [libvirt-users] [virt-tools-list] Linux host / Windows guest sharing
Thank you. The clipboard sharing working now. Do you have any idea for the mount issue? I suppose there is a way to share a specific directory between the guest and host like I did with vbox for example What exact modules needed for this function? The error message I've got this: mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L hostshare /tmp/hostfiles mount: special device hostshare does not exist syslog: 9pnet_virtio: no channels available my modules 9pnet_rdma 12966 0 rdma_cm 42325 1 9pnet_rdma ib_core 74297 6 rdma_cm,ib_cm,ib_sa,iw_cm,9pnet_rdma,ib_mad 9pnet_virtio 17519 0 virtio_ring 19975 3 virtio_balloon,9pnet_virtio,virtio_scsi virtio 14172 3 virtio_balloon,9pnet_virtio,virtio_scsi 9p 54021 0 9pnet 69248 3 9p,9pnet_rdma,9pnet_virtio fscache 62354 1 9p Thank you Vlad On Thu 20 Mar 2014 04:57:00 PM CET, Christophe Fergeau wrote:> On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 11:46:28AM -0400, Jonathon Jongsma wrote: >> The spice-vdagent should be running in the guest.

As far as I know (I've never really used this feature), you should be mounting the shared folder within the guest, but windows doesn't really support the 9p filesystem. Other alternatives include mounting a SMB share on both the host and the guest. Spice also has basic support for file transfers from the host to guest (just drag and drop a file icon onto your virt-viewer window and it should automatically transfer it to the guest). Marc-andre is also working on a webdav sharing feature for spice, but it's still in development. Jonathon

Re: [libvirt-users] [virt-tools-list] Linux host / Windows guest sharing
Thank you. It is clear now, so it was user error and I should read more documentation :) Unfortunately drag and drop isn't working. Is there any prerequisite? My host is FC20 and guest is Win2k8 server Thank you Vlad On Thu 20 Mar 2014 05:42:40 PM CET, Jonathon Jongsma wrote:> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Laszlo Pal (private)" <vlad@vlad.hu> >> To: "Christophe Fergeau" <cfergeau@redhat.com> >> Cc: libvirt-users@redhat.com, virt-tools-list@redhat.com, "Jonathon Jongsma" <jjongsma@redhat.com> >> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 11:29:37 AM >> Subject: Re: [virt-tools-list] Linux host / Windows guest sharing >> >> Thank you.
