I am also interested in this, but
I haven't time to learn the rust-jutsu.
In the meantime the the older C-based virtiofsd in qemu works OK --
I am booting off virtiofs using Debian 11's virt-manager/libvirtd/qemu:
qemu-system-common: /usr/lib/qemu/virtiofsd
https://manpages.debian.org/virtiofsd
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/tree/master/tools/virtiofsd
It is not clear to me what, specifically, upstream has improved in the
virtiofsd-rs codebase -- there isn't a ./NEWS or anything yet.
As at v1.4.0, the ./Cargo.toml lists these dependencies:
[dependencies]
bitflags = "1.2" > in Debian 11
capng = "0.2.2" > not in Debian
env_logger = "0.8.4" > in Debian 12
futures = {
version = "0.3", > in Debian 12
features = ["thread-pool"] }
libc = "~0.2.120" > in Debian 12

So I guess there's a few dependency libraries that have to be done first.
