On top of it, I often use qemu to run plan9, but it's inconvenient to constantly keep track of the things I do there, like C programs, because many of them are also useful under Slackware (then I compile them under linux with p9p's 9c). So the approach I've taken is to run 9vx and invoke % aux/listen1 -tv tcp!192.168.1.2!12345 /bin/exportfs from there. Then, from plan9 inside qemu, I run % import -A tcp!192.168.1.1!12345 /usr/hugo /n/temp and then bind anything I want inside /n/temp to my namespace in plan9. That way I don't need to keep track of anything I do inside qemu. But the next step I want to take is to run just a terminal with qemu, probably using the plan9 iso image, and have 9vx as my fileserver. Do you know if this is even possible? I'm not sure it is since 9vx is not actually plan9. Can you offer me some hints on how to do it? Saludos a todos, -- Hugo
