Hmm, I've got the strange feeling that the -virtfs parameter might currently be broken. Could you please try to replace the -virtfs option with these two options: -fsdev local,id=shared,path=/home/mahmood/Downloads \ -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=shared,mount_tag=Downloads I hope that works better...
