OK, I agreed to it on the whole.
But we have already srvfs, so the the option "everything under /foo
is read only" may be suitable to it.

Srvfs just calls exportfs, but it would be easy to add a
read-only flag to exportfs.

I like that better, because I think it's more generalized, and can
thus apply to things other than exportfs, as well (consider what you
mentioned about the http server).

I think something like that is a good idea.

The thing that I sometimes want is to do that in the local case, a way
to say "everything under /foo is read only", as a sanity check on e.g. a
http daemon.

Maybe the best approach is an ro-fs that you mount first, and then
exportfs?  Is that more modular, or just more work?

Hello 9fans,

I think it is valuable to have a ReadOnly option to exportfs.
Then we can use  `import' command to share files among the persons
who love Plan9.

How do you think?
