-## OVFS, OpenDAL File System via Virtio
+# OVFS, OpenDAL File System via Virtio
 
-### Periodic Reports
+OVFS is a backend implementation of VirtioFS. It provides a file system interface for VMs based on OpenDAL, aiming to accelerate VMs IO performance by VirtIO and seamlessly connect with various storage backends.

+</div>
+
+## How to Use
+
+The following components are required:
+- Rust environment on the host to run OVFS
+- QEMU 4.2 or later for built-in VirtioFS support
+- A Linux 5.4 or later guest kernel for built-in VirtioFS support
+
+### Install QEMU and VMs
+
+```shell
+sudo apt-get -y qemu # debian/ubuntu
+```
+
+Download and install the VM, taking Ubuntu as an example:
+
+```shell
+wget https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.6-live-server-amd64.iso
+truncate -s 10G image.img
+sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 2 -m 4G -cdrom ubuntu-20.04.6-live-server-amd64.iso -drive file=image.img,format=raw,cache=none,if=virtio -boot d
+```
+
+### Mount shared directory on VMs
+
+Run ovfs and set the listening socket path and service configuration used:
+
+```shell
+host# cargo run --release <socket-path> <backend-url>
+```
+
+backend-url is the URL that includes the scheme and parameters of the service used, in the following format:
+- fs://?root=<directory>
+- s3://?root=<path>&bucket=<bucket>&endpoint=<endpoint>&region=<region>&access_key_id=<access-key-id>&secret_access_key=<secret-access-key>
+
+Run the VM through QEMU and create a VirtioFS device:
+
+```shell
+host# sudo qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -smp 2 \
+     -m 4G -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4G,mem-path=/dev/shm,share=on -numa node,memdev=mem \
+     -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vfsd.sock -device vhost-user-fs-pci,queue-size=1024,chardev=char0,tag=myfs \
+     -drive file=image.img,format=raw,cache=none,if=virtio \
+     -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -net nic \
+     -nographic -boot c
+```
+
+Mount a shared directory in the VM:
+
+```shell
+guest# sudo mount -t virtiofs <fs-tag> <mount-point>
+```
