How To: Setup VirtioFS Under Windows and Mount Multiple Unraid shares as individual drive letters.
VirtioFS under Windows is now stable as of Unraid 6.12.5 (QEMU 7.2) and Virtio Drivers 0.1.248-1. Ensure you install this driver or later as well as Unraid 6.12.5 or later. Earlier versions of Unraid will cause the VM to lock up and earlier drivers have an issue where any filesystem IO will cause a large non-Paged pool memory leak.

Enabling Hugepages on Unraid for use with VirtioFS
For anyone interested I thought this would be a good place to write a guide to enable hugepages in Unraid for use with VirtioFS. I've found that this helps decrease latency, especially when the Unraid server has been up for quite a while and also helps with memory fragmentation issues that can lead to other VMs that aren't using VirtoFS from being able to boot up reliably.
