9p kernel module?

Porteus is running as a KVM guest on an Ubuntu 16.04 host.
When I do
Code: Select all
mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L /hostshare /hostshare
I get
Code: Select all
mount: unknown filesystem type '9p'
Obviously I am missing the 9p kernel module.
Is this available in a package or is there another recommended way of sharing folders with the host?

OK. Answering my own post.
I
re-compiled the kernel, using 4.9.8 as the kernel source and the corresponding aufs patch for that kernel version, with the following options included in .config:
Code: Select all
CONFIG_NET_9P=m
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m
# CONFIG_NET_9P_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_9P_FS=m
CONFIG_9P_FSCACHE=y
CONFIG_9P_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_9P_FS_SECURITY=y
I was then able to mount a P9 share.
One thing I found on the way was that it isn't obvious where the 05-devel.xzm comes from. I couldn't find it in USM. I finally downloaded it manually from an
FTP source. Maybe I missed something.

Thanks. Including 9P in the next kernel.
Uploaded the 64bit kernel-4.9.12 to the server.
