@Wei Zhou If the network into which the StorageVM runs IPv6 (as per your implementation of IPv6) it should automatically get an IPv6 IP, correct?
@Wido den Hollander @Wei ZhouHow much effort do you guys thing it would it take to add support to VirtioFS? I'm not super aware of it, what would the benefits be? (I've quickly looked at Wido's links, but I rather get info from you guys directly).

It is a great idea to support virtio-fs. We could add VIRTIOFS as a valid value of enum ExportProtocol, and implement it in a separate plugin in the future. Have you tested virtio-fs before ? Could you share more info if possible? - is it supported by libvirt-java ? - does it support hot plug or hot unplug ? I agree with you that we should consider IPv6 (ip and firewall rules) in storagefs vm. cc abhisar.si...@shapeblue.com Kind regards, Wei On Thu, Jun 6, 2024 at 6:43 AM Wido den Hollander <w...@widodh.nl.invalid> wrote: > > > > Op 04/06/2024 om 06:04 schreef Abhisar Sinha: > > Hi, > > > > I would like to propose supporting storage filesystem as a first-class > > feature in Cloudstack. > > The File Share can be associated with one or more guest networks or vpc > > tiers and can be used by any VM on the network in a shared manner.
