Following docs/dev/microvm-local.md to run hack/microvm-assets/assemble.sh in the Lima guest fails twice over. The git bundled with the guest image does not understand the refstorage repository extension, so cloning virtiofsd aborts with "unknown repository extension found: refstorage". Install a newer git from ppa:git-core/ppa. The list also omits a C compiler, so the arm64 virtiofsd build stops at "error: linker cc not found". Add build-essential. Also record the path-MTU black hole that stalls cargo at zero bytes while curl to the same host runs at full speed. The filtered ICMP replies leave the kernel retransmitting a segment the path cannot carry, which reads as a slow network rather than a broken one.

We should probably run this in a container instead FWIW. |

Just to confirm, are you suggesting building the microvm assets in a Docker container? |

Yes, that seems better than depending on installing in the host. We can do that in a follow-up though. |

I like it for hermetic builds. Will do in a follow-up. |

I think this is no longer needed with #1708. Will close once confirmed. |
