what is serving the host directory? is qemu involved? i ask because qemu's 9p is not the same as plan 9's 9p. plan 9's 9p is 9p2000 which transports a subset of plan 9 system calls over the network. qemu's 9p is 9p2000.L which transports a subset of *linux* system calls over the network. the 2 protocols are similar in design, but not compatible. some years ago, the maintainer of v9fs (linux's 9p driver) stated it was essentially 2 separate drivers because of this. so, if you want to use 9pfuse in the guest, you probably want to serve the host files with u9fs, not qemu.

Actually I want to mount one of my host directory (let's call it /test) to the OpenBSD system(guest as /test) using 9p FS <https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio>. Since OpenBSD doesn't come with inbuilt 9P software I have installed plan9port on my BSD machine . But I am confused on how to mount the host directory to OpenBSD using 9pfuse. I have already searched for this but I couldn't find any hint on that. I would be greatfulif anyone could help me out in mounting my host machines directory to OpenBSD as 9P File system.
