qemu

is there any way to copy information (files) from the qemu emulation env to the linux host?

jochen · 2005-01-31 13:48:34

You can use samba.

smb.conf:

[qemu]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes

start qemu:

qemu ... -user-net -smb qemu

The ip-address of your host will be 10.0.2.2.

thanks.
seems i'll have todo something ive been trying to avoid for too long - dancing samba...

Does this really work? I thought the current version of qemu depends on an older version of samba (2.x?) and Arch provides only a newer, not compatible version (3.x?). Did you succeed to run samba+qemu+windows?

By the way, I set up a qemu wiki some time ago: http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/qemu .
Feel free to improve it.

It does really work -- at least for me. I'm using a qemu snapshot from 2004-12-27 at the moment. Guest OS is Windows 98 SE. Samba-3.0.10-1.

Doesn't it work for you?

No, when I tried to set it up about a month ago, it didn't work. I searched with google and found probably this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu- … 00051.html . As you can see, there are some problems with SAMBA and qemu. Did you run qemu as root?
Right now I don't have a need to run qemu, so I can't verify if the situation has changed. Could you update the wiki with information how to setup windows with qemu+samba?

im trying todo from the qemu image :

mount -t smbfs -o username=root //10.0.2.2/qemu /mnt/tmp

but i always get

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //10.0.2.2/qemu, or too many mounted file systems

i didnt know if i need to, but on my host OS i started the samba daemon manually (/etc/rc.d/samba start) and made sure its working (ps aux | grep mbd).

any ideas?

[EDIT]
ps.
the emulated os can ping 10.0.2.2

Can you mount the share on your host OS? Just to verify your samba configuration is working.

mount -t smbfs -o username=root //localhost/qemu /mnt/tmp

@vicious: I'll update the the wiki as soon as I have some free time.

z4ziggy · 2005-02-01 06:56:57

yep, i verified it works flawlessly on localhost. maybe its the issue vicious was referring to.

jochen · 2005-02-01 15:51:36

What version of qemu are you running? Just now I compiled the current snapshot of qemu (2005-01-31-23) and verified that samba is working with Win98 and Xfld as guest OSes. Maybe you should use a newer version?

z4ziggy · 2005-02-01 16:09:41

i been using latest snapshot (qemu-snapshot2005013023-1.pkg.tar.gz)

fluke · 2005-12-17 16:35:03

Can you send me a copy of your pkg, z4ziggy?

Snowman · 2005-12-17 19:00:24

There's a qemu package in the community repo. Did you tried it? There's also a thread about it in the announcement section. This is an old thread so z4ziggy might not have the package anymore and it might not even work with the current kernel.
