Package: linux-image-cloud-amd64
Severity: wishlist

Please consider adding kernel module '9p' to the cloud image. It is impossible to passthrough filesystem from hypervisor with the current cloud image and there are no additional packages to install it. The only way that I know to passthrough filesystem currently is to remove linux-image-cloud-amd64 and install linux-image-amd64.

No response from submitter at all in 2 years time ...

... and with that, I don't see a reason to keep this bug open, thus closing.
