V9FS: 9P2000 for Linux
======================

ABOUT
=====

v9fs is a Unix implementation of the Plan 9 9p remote filesystem protocol.

This software was originally developed by Ron Minnich <rminnich@lanl.gov>
and Maya Gokhale <maya@lanl.gov>. Additional development by Greg Watson
<gwatson@lanl.gov> and most recently Eric Van Hensbergen
<ericvh@gmail.com> and Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net>.

USAGE
=====

For remote file server:

mount -t 9P 10.10.1.2 /mnt/9

For Plan 9 From User Space applications (http://swtch.com/plan9)

mount -t 9P `namespace`/acme /mnt/9 -o proto=unix,name=$USER

OPTIONS
=======

proto=name select an alternative transport. Valid options are
currently:
unix - specifying a named pipe mount point
tcp - specifying a normal TCP/IP connection
fd - used passed file descriptors for connection
(see rfdno and wfdno)

name=name user name to attempt mount as on the remote server. The
server may override or ignore this value. Certain user
names may require authentication.

aname=name aname specifies the file tree to access when the server is
offering several exported file systems.

debug=n specifies debug level. The debug level is a bitmask.
0x01 = display verbose error messages
0x02 = developer debug (DEBUG_CURRENT)
0x04 = display 9P trace
0x08 = display VFS trace
0x10 = display Marshalling debug
0x20 = display RPC debug
0x40 = display transport debug
0x80 = display allocation debug

rfdno=n the file descriptor for reading with proto=fd

wfdno=n the file descriptor for writing with proto=fd

maxdata=n the number of bytes to use for 9P packet payload (msize)

port=n port to connect to on the remote server

timeout=n request timeouts (in ms) (default 60000ms)

noextend force legacy mode (no 9P2000.u semantics)

uid attempt to mount as a particular uid

gid attempt to mount with a particular gid

afid security channel - used by Plan 9 authentication protocols

nodevmap do not map special files - represent them as normal files.
This can be used to share devices/named pipes/sockets between
hosts. This functionality will be expanded in later versions.

RESOURCES
=========

The Linux version of the 9P server, along with some client-side utilities
can be found at http://v9fs.sf.net (along with a CVS repository of the
development branch of this module). There are user and developer mailing
lists here, as well as a bug-tracker.

For more information on the Plan 9 Operating System check out
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9

For information on Plan 9 from User Space (Plan 9 applications and libraries
ported to Linux/BSD/OSX/etc) check out http://swtch.com/plan9


STATUS
======

The 2.6 kernel support is working on PPC and x86.

PLEASE USE THE SOURCEFORGE BUG-TRACKER TO REPORT PROBLEMS.

If you say Y here, you will get experimental support for
Plan 9 resource sharing via the 9P2000 protocol.

See <http://v9fs.sf.net> for more information.

If unsure, say N.
