Wild! Fun to see 9p filesystem protocol continue to have a life in this form.

Yea!, as far as I understand, with p9fs now a simple zfs dataset can be shared with the VM, removing the need of ZVOLs (a ZVOL for the boot disk isn't an issue, but for example a data disk of 1tb is difficult to manage).

Huh, in a point release?

But excited to try it out ASAP! I haven’t made the leap to 15 on my server yet (in part because I can’t decide whether to go with pkgbase or not…), but sharing data more easily with VMs will surely be nice.

What’s the performance like?

It's the duct tape of filesystem protocols, in a good way.
