Are you building your own QEMU binary or is it from somewhere else? I wonder if it was built without support for the 9p filesystem code. For this to be enabled: * host machine must be Linux * system building QEMU must have libcap development package installed If you're building it yourself then you can pass configure '--enable-virtfs' which will mean configure will stop with an error if it can't enable virtfs rather than just disabling this optional feature. QEMU ought to produce a helpful error if you try to use -virtfs when virtfs wasn't compiled in, but it may be that this check was broken accidentally at some point. Also, 2.5.0 is a couple of years old, you might try with 2.9.0 (or even with the 2.10.0 we're about to release today). thanks -- PMM
