Please do not send HTML messages or top-post when using mailing lists. It makes it more difficult to reply while keeping context.

Right now, that would net you libvirt 7.6.0 and QEMU 6.0.0, which are just a few months old and should allow you to set up virtiofs.> I would prefer the ubuntu packages. I am most familiar with that > distro. I can make centos8 work if I have to but I prefer not.If at all possible, I recommend using binary packages instead of building libvirt from scratch. It just makes everything so much easier. If you really want to build from source, have a look at the Dockerfiles in ci/containers: there's one for Ubuntu 20.04, and it includes the full list of packages you need to install in order to satisfy all build dependencies. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
