RESOURCES
=========
Our current recommendation is to use Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com/nferno/index.html)
as the 9p server. You can start a 9p server under Inferno by issuing the
following command:
; styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U*'
Protocol specifications are maintained on github:
http://ericvh.github.com/9p-rfc/
The -A specifies an unauthenticated export. The 564 is the port # (you may
have to choose a higher port number if running as a normal user). The '#U*'
specifies exporting the root of the Linux name space. You may specify a
subset of the namespace by extending the path: '#U*'/tmp would just export
/tmp. For more information, see the Inferno manual pages covering styxlisten
and export.
9p client and server implementations are listed on
http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations
A Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project
on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs). The currently
maintained version is the single-threaded version of the server (named spfs)
available from the same SVN repository.
A 9p2000.L server is being developed by LLNL and can be found
at http://code.google.com/p/diod/
There are user and developer mailing lists available through the v9fs project
on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/v9fs).
A stand-alone version of the module (which should build for any 2.6 kernel)
is available via (http://github.com/ericvh/9p-sac/tree/master)
