I am trying to reproduce this. I guess there is some part of config i am
missing

I have export path /tmp/ and is  exported via 

-virtfs local,path=/tmp/,mount_tag=v_tmp,security_model=mapped-file

There is not .virtfs_metadata directory  in /tmp/

in /tmp/ i have test/test2 with

ls -ald test/test2
dr-xr-xr-x 2 kvaneesh kvaneesh 4096 May 20 15:20 test/test2

Now i am mounting the same via 
mount -t 9p -oversion=9p2000.u,ro v_tmp /mnt    

address@hidden:~# ls -al /mnt/test/test2/
total 8
dr-xr-xr-x 2 virtfs virtfs 4096 May 20 15:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 virtfs virtfs 4096 May 20 15:00 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 virtfs virtfs    0 May 20 15:20 k

Any idea what i am missing ?
