Using QEMU with Samba

Good afternoon everyone, I've recently found that it is possible to virtualize an AmigaOS 4 environment not just with WinUAE or FS-UAE bu also with QEMU. This solution allow to run more "recent" hardware instead of the old "classic" Amiga.

So I've bought an AmigaOS 4 Pegasos2 license and started to use it. The difference is sensible but I'm currently strugling to setup a share in order to pass files between the host and the client.

I understood that one way it is to use Samba to share a folder between Linux/Windows and AmigaOS.

I've setup samba on my Linux Mint, and installed smb2fs on Amiga but when I try to mount the share point it say access denied.

Any help? There are better way to share files between the two systems?

Go the way derfs point out with virtfs: it's well tested already and really only one normal solution for qemu. I use it with Qemu always (and even today install last version).

But be sure that if you use windows, you need qemu windows build with p9 support in, which you can get from https://github.com/arixmkii/qcw/tags , and the last one are: https://github.com/arixmkii/qcw/releas ... w64-qemu-setup-11.0.1.exe

There are various ways to share files with the host machine, and each one has its pros and cons. And most of them are supported by Kyvos, my frontend for QEMU, which makes the VM setup as easy as possible. I also provide a manual with more than 120 pages with plenty of information.

You can find Kyvos v2 at https://ko-fi.com/s/5ce4b719ed

There is also the older donationware version at https://ko-fi.com/s/6476fdadd2, in case you would like to test it first.

The 9PFS should work and is the normal way QEMU uses for shared folders but needs the AmigaOS driver. Samba should also work but depending on your network backend your host may not be at the IP address you expect. With the default -net user (slirp) network you may need to use 10.0.2.2 to access the host from the guest (look at the network docs linked in the FAQ on my page at the URL in my signature below). With -net tap it should work normally but you need some setup on the host to create the tap interfaces to use.
