ivvehhello folks, i have read https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/manage-shares.html and it says that: "Due to current virtiofs implementation in Qemu / libvirt, the following Nova features are blocked for VMs with shares attached" and I have also seen post where this limitation blaim is put on KVM/QEMU (that it can't attach a filesystem to a running VM. Assuming the vm has memfd&shared mem enabled, this is not true and yo10:41
ivvehjust looking for clarification, if everyone is misinterpreting this statement or what is going on? 10:42
ivvehbecause there is nothing hindering from KVM/QEMU side to execute "virsh attach-device <instance> some.xml --live --config" which contains xml config for a filesystem with a socket coming from virtiofsd10:43
ivveh(while the instance is running).. you can also detach-device as well10:43
ivvehand since this was implemented not so long ago and this has worked for quite some time in qemu, im just wondering.. is it pointing perhaps to a very old version of QEMU/KVM?10:44
