+virtiofsd is a vhost-user virtio-fs device backend written in Rust.
+
+This won't work on a 32bit operating system.
+
+NOTE: if you wish to update virtiofsd yourself you need to create a
+tarball first with the vendored versions of the rust dependencies:
+to create the "vendor" source dir yourself unpack the virtiofsd
+tarball, enter its directory and execute these three commands
+
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/rust16/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
+ export PATH="/opt/rust16/bin:$PATH"
+ cargo vendor
+
+then you can create a tarball with
+
+ tar Jcf ../virtiofsd-vendor-$VERSION.tar.xz vendor
+
+this is necessary to avoid downloading stuff during execution of
+the SlackBuild.
