March 28, 20233 yr Hey all, building a new Unraid server here. I have an SMB share called Media that I want to access from an Ubuntu (22.10) VM. What is the best way to do it? Should I use 9p or VirtioFS? I see conflicting reports about both: 9p has issues with user permissions, but VirtioFS isn't stable? Thoughts? The share should have no access restrictions: everything on it has full permissions, and I want the VM to be able to write to the share.

I mount mine using fstab //tower/share /local/folder cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev,username=user,password=userpass,vers=1.0,uid-1000,gid=1000 0 0 ymmv, but I find speeds to be better this way than with 9p, supposedly there have been recent improvements, I haven't found the need to experiment.
March 29, 20233 yr Author thanks, I have been experimenting with 9p, but it seems to have some issues with permissions. I'll probably just use CIFS which seems less finnicky.
