Trying to share a directory, that is located in another hard drive connected to my computer, with a Windows 10 guest on QEMU/KVM

  • 772

I'm using Ubuntu 23.10 and Virtual Machine Manager 4.1.0.

When I try to add the directory that is located on another hard drive in Virtual Machine Manger, I get the following error: "Error starting domain: operation failed: Unable to find a satisfying virtiofsd".

How do I resolve this issue?

    I got this to work by installing virtiofsd in Ubuntu (host): sudo apt install virtiofsd.

    On Windows (guest), I installed:

    Then I went to the Windows' Start menu and typed 'services'. After the Services app loaded, I found "VirtIO-FS Service", double-clicked it, set the Startup Type to Automatic, and started the service.
