kata-irc-bot<gkurz> @fidencio I've asked about DAX in the virtiofs matrix channel and @feng.wang who was also there got all the answers ;-)09:36
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> Out of curiosity, what's the current state of that? (For those who were not there, like myself)09:37
kata-irc-bot<gkurz> @fidencio IIUC there are two concerns here: 1. limitation: the guest must have exclusive write access to the shared directory, otherwise another guest or the host can cause an infinite page fault loop by simply truncating a file that was mapped in the guest 2. QEMU patches not yet upstream: last posted in April 2021, some remarks to be addressed. Dave Gilbert is the person working on that.10:47
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> Ack, and as expected Dave is super busy :slightly_smiling_face:11:15
kata-irc-bot<joaquinito2051> Hello, i can run Windows Containers using Kata Containers???12:07
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> @joaquinito2051, hey!16:11
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> short answer, no.  AFAIU you cannot run Windows containers on Linux, and kata-containers is (so far) Linux-only (with some work on the horizon to support Darwin / OS X)16:12
