PS: The qemu(1) man page also has the -net smb=dir option, but how do I enter this into libvirt's XML config file?

Thanks, this could be a solution (but isn't, yet). I already have Samba running but services on the host should not be accessible by the guest. Maybe qemu's built-in Samba server could be an option? I searched but could not find a way to enable it using libvirt/virsh's XML config file.

| Aug 15, 2016 at 16:14 | comment | added | dyasny | This does provide an answer, the o/p wanted a way to share a directory between the VM and the host. I'm not sure full instructions on how to set up a file share or every sort imaginable will be feasible in this context, the point of the answer is to just say "use a regular file share". | |
