this is what p9fs(4) is for.
I thought it was something like this I saw somewhere :D
to export the filesystem, add a virtio-9p device to bhyve:
bhyve [...] -s 5:0,virtio-9p,myshare=/some/path,rw
'myshare' should be replaced with a descriptive name for the share,
and change 'rw' to 'ro' to make it read-only.
I'd like it to be mounted rw - did you mean that ro is the only
correct option or can it be either?
note that unlike NFS, this doesn't work automatically for descendent
mountpoints on the host (e.g., ZFS filesystem hierarchies); instead
you need to export and mount each child filesystem separately.
so - in a guest poudriere instance, if i make the mount for
/usr/poudriere to be on an imported p9fs, but with respect to the
host this would be on a ufs fs without seperate mountpoints.
It'd be able to make all of its tmp dirs etc below /usr/poudriere
on demand, if I understand correctly.
