I couldn't convince vmspawn to start a VM on a Fedora image I just downloaded, and it was pretty light on any useful details: $ build/systemd-vmspawn --image ~/Downloads/Fedora-Server-Guest-Generic-Rawhide-20260627.n.0.x86_64.qcow2 --image-format=qcow2 --bind-ro=/tmp/bar; echo $? ░ Spawning VM Fedora-Server-Guest-Generic-Rawhide-20260627.n.0.x8664.qcow2 on /home/mrc0mmand/Downloads/Fedora-Server-Guest-Generic-Rawhide-20260627.n.0.x86_64.qcow2. ░ Press Ctrl-] three times within 1s to kill VM. 1 Turns out that the unix socket path vmspawn generates for the virtiofsd socket is too long. Let's relay this information to the user as well to make debugging this a little less painful: $ build/systemd-vmspawn --image ~/Downloads/Fedora-Server-Guest-Generic-Rawhide-20260627.n.0.x86_64.qcow2 --image-format=qcow2 --bind-ro=/tmp/bar ░ Spawning VM Fedora-Server-Guest-Generic-Rawhide-20260627.n.0.x8664.qcow2 on /home/mrc0mmand/Downloads/Fedora-Server-Guest-Generic-Rawhide-20260627.n.0.x86_64.qcow2. ░ Press Ctrl-] three times within 1s to kill VM.
