Mac OS High Siera - 9p Sharing files

[fatalfurry]

I've used this setup previously between unRaid and a Linux host, but cannot get it working with my Mac VM. 

 

running the mount command manually 

 

 sudo mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L shares /mnt

I receive the following error. 

 

mount: exec /Library/Filesystems/9p.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_9p for /mnt: No such file or directory

 

The /mnt directory does exist on the Mac and searching for this error hasn't resulted in many things for me to try. 

 

Has anyone been able to setup 9p sharing with a Mac or have any advice on what to try next?

Bump.

Last I checked (+2 years ago) in order to get 9p shares working on OSX someone would need to develop the OSX driver (kext) files. I don’t believe Apple had any intention on nativity supporting KVM so that would leave someone who knew their stuff to develop 3rd party. Anyway, that was years ago so maybe someone did or maybe Apple has changed their position on KVM...
