I am trying to run a Linux Debian with qemu with MacOS Big Sur host.

Unfortunately virtfs doesn't work on Mac and there is no easy alternative that I have found.

Is there a way to share folders?

Thanks!!

EDIT:

This is what I need: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/122420 but it is still in progress !!

Thanks to all!

You could install SAMBA on your Debian image, and whatever folders you share with SAMBA will be accesable via network locations in your Mac's finder. If you wish to go that route, here are instructions on setting up SAMBA in Debian Buster: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-set-up-a-samba-server-on-debian-10-buster.

Or you can set up a file sharing on your Mac to share a folder that can be accessed by Debian. If you wish to go that route, here are instructions on sharing folders on your Big Sur: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/mac

  • Thanks for your answer! Do you know if there is any way to do it with plan9/virtfs? – laurajaime May 21 '21 at 07:37
  • Following the PR you posted in the question, 9p virtfs support on macOS is still in progress but close to getting merged into QEMU. – gsf Feb 11 '22 at 20:27
