no, it doesn't.  on plan 9, when the shell script exits,
nothing will have vacfs mounted anymore, so vacfs
will get an eof on the 9p connection and exit.
that's why i put an rfork n in the script.

> Well, this doesnt seem to run this way on p9p :(

true.  i thought you were using plan 9, sorry.

if you are using linux and have fuse installed,
you can still run something like the script,
as long as you are willing to run just one at a time.

	vacfs -m /vac file.vac
	cp -R /vac/* .
	unmount /vac

would work, assuming you create a /vac that you
have write permission to.  you can only run one at a time
since there is only one /vac.
