- CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y
- CONFIG_NET_9P=y
- CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=y
- CONFIG_9P_FS=y
Sometimes it will be useful to use security_model=none rather than passthrough. From the man page:
In "passthrough" security model, files are stored using the same credentials as they are created on the guest. This requires QEMU to run as root. [...] "none" security model is same as passthrough except the sever won't report failures if it fails to set file attributes like ownership.
