Hi,

Can anybody point me to good document, where I can share files between host
system and Qemu system.
i.e. I want to share files, between real system with Ubuntu running on it,
and Qemu on same system with Ubuntu on it.

Let me know if I didn't mentioned it clearly.


Thanks,
Arpit

If performance isn't a major concern, sshfs is a simple way to achieve 
this; you can use it on either host or guest.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.

I am still not able to figure out, how to use it.

Can you please point me to some document or give little bit more details,
how shall I use sshfs?

I am using *qemu -kernel kernelimage -initrd initrd.img /dev/zero -append
"cmdline"* to use qemu to boot from the kernel I build.
But don't know how to add files into the kernel that I just build, so
thought of sharing files, between real system and the virtual system that I
booted using qemu.

Thanks for help.
