Make your QEMU 10 times faster with this one weird trick
FWIW, the contemporary alternative to 9p is virtiofs. It is implemented as a separate service that is running aside the hypervisor. Originally out of qemu, it was rewritten in Rust as a freestanding project that can also be used with cloud-hypervisor and crosvm.
https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd
On NixOS: https://github.com/astro/microvm.nix
What are some alternatives?
When comparing qemu and virtiofsd you can also consider the following projects:
crosvm - The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor - Mirror of https://chromium.googlesource.com/crosvm/crosvm/
quickemu - Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines. [Moved to: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu]
microvm.nix - NixOS MicroVMs
redditfs - A simple 9p server to browse reddit
varfs - Super simple, but versatile, 9p filesystem serving multipurpose variables. (ootb with plan9port)
