Describe the bug
I'm getting a lot of errors after setting up VirtIO-FS on Unraid for Windows WM. All these issues come from attempting to install programs. I've got issues with installing Steam where it couldn't access the files. After bruteforcing it with Unraid rights, any program I try to install is just not 'findable' even if the files are inded located at the right place, and looked at the registory files didn't helped at all.

Here's my virtIO-FS command to set it up :
cmd /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\bin\fsreg.bat" virtiofs "C:\Program Files\Virtio-Win\VioFS\virtiofs.exe" "-o 1001:100 -i -t %%1 -m %%2""

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour: Just install any program on the VM, you'll get errors.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen: I'd like the smoothest / closest experience to a classic Windows.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. It's in french, I'm sorry :

Host:

  • Disto: Unraid 7.0.0-rc2
  • QEMU version: Q35-7.2

VM:

  • Windows version: Windows 10
  • Which driver has a problem: VirtIO-FS
  • Driver version or commit hash that was used to build the driver: 0.1.266-1

Additional context
Hi,
First of all, I'm not sure if creating a github issue is really the right way. I'm not sure if it's me being bad at using VirtIO-FS or just trying something impossible, but i've been looking for a solution for weeks, without avail. I'm trying to build a complete and definitive infrastructure for my personal use, and with that situation, I can't do anything. Helping me would allow me to finally achieve this goal.

I've done a reddit post in case some days ago looking for some help. Maybe this combined to that github issue will help to point me out : Link to the post

Thanks a lot.

Solved by re-doing a better setup outisde of the Unraid's guides.
However i'm still stuck with that :

which is related to case sensitive files. Triggering that off is creating more chaos sadly. Curious if there's a fix for that.
Thanks !

Hi, first of all, thank you for the report.
I think case insensitivity probably should be turn on, and then let's see what are the other issues.

But I am wondering why you try to install the game on the host side with virtio-fs. Why not install it directly on the VM image?

Hi !
So with the case insensitivity on, I'm getting permissions issues on Steam etc, making everything even worse.

I'm trying to install Steam on it because my VM space is low, and I wanted to store everything on that share which is quite... big enough. I ended up doing that, but I feel like it's something important for other tools / programs that could be there without any install or anything and still give this kind of issue :/
