Caennanu Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Gday all, I do not have much experience with linux based systems at all, but for Shinobi i was asked to try CentOS 8 as its base OS. So far so good. However, compared to ubuntu 20.04, it seems to have dropped the support for mounting with 9p all together, while i do still need to mount a share. The tag i created in the VM, how would i go about mounting that to a dir on CentOS 8? The regular 'mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio' command results into the issue 'unkown file system 9p'.

In my experience cifs is faster than 9p. Quote Link to comment

Caennanu Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Anyone who can clarify if an SMB share on unraid will generate actual network traffic when mounted to a VM also on unraid? Quote Link to comment
