## Overview
When using --expose to mirror a path between host and guest, the guest mirror
fails to reflect file modifications from the host. However, file creation and
deletion are correctly propogated.
To pick up file modifications in the guest, it is sufficient to remount
mirroring 9p filesystem.
Is this behaviour expected?
## Reproduction
The following should be sufficient to reproduce the issue:
Create a container and expose a path:
host$ guix system --expose /some/path vm.scm
/gnu/store/<hash>-run-vm.sh
Spin up the vm:
host$ /gnu/store/<hash>-run-vm.sh
From the host, create a new file under /some/path, and check that the guest
sees this file:
host$ touch /some/path/test
guest$ cat /some/path/test
<file is empty>
Now change the contents of this file on the host, and verify that the guest
does not see the change:
host$ echo foo >/some/path/test
guest$ cat /some/path/test
<file is empty>
Finally, remount the filesystem at /some/path, and see that the guest now picks
up the changes:
guest$ sudo mount -o remount,ro /some/path
guest$ cat /some/path/test
foo

## Notes
In the above, I am running linux-libre@4.9 in the guest, but another user on
#guix confirmed the issue with linux-libre@5.8. The same user reported seeing
the following after modifying the host file and remounting in the guest:
guest$ cat /some/path/test
