The best detailed explanation of the Linux implementation and applications of
the 9p client is available in the form of a USENIX paper:
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/tech/freenix/hensbergen.html

Other applications are described in the following papers:
* XCPU & Clustering

* KVMFS: control file system for KVM
