virtiofsd
'''''''''
There is a new Rust implementation of ``virtiofsd`` at
``https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd``;
since this is now marked stable, new development should be done on that
rather than the existing C version in the QEMU tree.
The C version will still accept fixes and patches that
are already in development for the moment, but will eventually
be deleted from this tree.
New deployments should use the Rust version, and existing systems
should consider moving to it. The command line and feature set
is very close and moving should be simple.
