[pve-devel] [PATCH cluster/guest-common/qemu-server/manager v6 0/11] virtiofs

[Christoph Heiss]

Tested the whole series, using Debian 12 and Windows 11 as guest
machines. Works fine with both.

Two small things overall that I noticed, although only really pertaining
to documentation:

  * It should be explained in the docs and via a tooltip in the GUI
    what the "mount tag" is / does. This might not be immediately
    obvious to all users.

  * It should also be mentioned in the docs that for it to work under
    Windows, the WinFsp [0] drivers are needed, in addition to the
    virtio ones.

Consider the series:
