A request for clarification and some questions

[tonsimple]

Hi!
First and foremost, what does
"The home directory of the destvm should be readonly accessible in the given directory in the srcvm" mean?

Like, does the InterVMFS mount the home of the destvm as readonly and the destination folder (the one that was supplied as second argument to usr/bin/QubesInterVMFS) read-and-write?

Also, I am mildly concerned by questions asked by Vít Šesták here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/rCc20BTZ9co/R32fC9NNBQAJ

(I am not knowledgeable enough to assess the seriousness of things like "guessing inode numbers")

P.S.:
Do I understand correctly that usr/bin/QubesInterVMFS does not need to be run via sudo ?

maybe the "should" is irritating, i used it because this is all beta software. so there may be a bug which hinders the desired operation. assuming there is no bug it reads "The home directory of the destvm is readonly accessible in the given directory in the srcvm"

no, the tool allows read-only access only.

Also, I am mildly concerned by questions asked by Vít Šesták here:

i will answer his questions over there. short summary: the tool is a proof of concept for now allowing easier inter-vm access because i needed it for my work.

Do I understand correctly that usr/bin/QubesInterVMFS does not need to be run via sudo ?

no, no sudo needed for the tool.
