In #18995 we added a pre-check to check for the existence of 9P prior to starting the mount. This looks for the existence of
/lib/modules/<module>/kernel/fs/9p
. If it's not found we terminate with the following error:❌ Exiting due to HOST_UNSUPPORTED: The host does not support filesystem 9p.
However, it seems 9P can be located elsewhere on the system. For example, Cloud Shell, trying to use mount returns
❌ Exiting due to HOST_UNSUPPORTED: The host does not support filesystem 9p.
, but removing the check logic mounting works:I've verified that
/lib/modules/<module>/kernel/fs/9p
doesn't exist, but can see it in the following:So we should do a different/additional check to ensure that we're not blocking on when 9P is in fact usable.
