[Virtio-fs] Windows drivers in Fedora virtio-win ISO

Hi Gal,
On #virtio-fs freenode IRC it was just mentioned that the Fedora
virtio-win "latest" ISO now includes virtio-fs drivers:

15:48 < livelace> It looks like virtio-win contains some virtiofs stuff
15:49 < livelace> 07/15/2020  06:22 PM            55,496 viofs.sys

This is great news! We've had questions about the status of Windows
support recently and this will help many users.

Can you provide a HowTo for the virtio-fs website
(https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/) so there are instructions on installing
and using the driver?

If you don't have time to write an HTML HowTo (the website git repo is
here: https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtio-fs.gitlab.io) I can format it
for you. Just an email reply would be great.

Thanks,
Stefan

I can write a few lines on how to manually install it. Unless there is an
installer that I'm not familiar with.

You probably will need to format it anyway ;-).

There's nothing to it. I submitted a merge request via virtio-fs's gitlab
site.
