Shared Folder!

[darthnvader]

What is going on with the shared folder on macOS hosts?

Even my .sit files won't open with Stuffit?

How can I get files and applications onto my VM in qemu-68k?

Are these forums dead?

Does Floppy work with 68k Qemu?

I know boot support is not working, but I can'r find the command line to just add a floppy and the change floppy menu lets me select and img but it never mounts.

Nope, not dead....

Mac floppies images cannot be read. Putting the content into a small img and use it as hd might work.
About the sit files: No idea yet.

Best,

Hi darthnvader. Been a long time -- hope you're well.

My "classicvirtio" driver for the virtio-9p device is definitely a work in progress. Opening an image with Disk Copy definitely won't work yet, for interesting reasons.

Can you let me know in a bit more detail what the problem is?

Doesn't stuffit depend on file type and creator?

Does shared folders on macOS hosts use resource fork and finder info extended attributes?

[elliotnunn]

No to using “real” file type/creator and finderinfo on macOS hosts, because this information is not available through the 9p layer, although I have experimented with some patches that do expose it. Instead this information is inside a “FILENAME.idump” text file.

I think when the Finder indexes the shared drive it ends up creating a bunch of false files, and those files are all the appear to the guest.

I share my ~/Downloads folder on the macOS and I see the files appear in my downloads folder, when I shut down Qemu they disappear.
