The code is not ready for daily use yet but maybe some of you would like to take a look or even test it. I set up a little placeholder for the project at http://www.tip9ug.jp/who/iru/o9fs with the info one will need to get the thing running.

And it seems like a pretty good start to ask people who might have Plan 9 Servers running to do that testing. It's this kind of crap that drives people away from Plan 9 by the way.

I'm currently in the process of installing a heck of a lot of systems onto QEMU (Fedora 8, Ubuntu 7.10, ReactOS, Minix) and I think I'll put OpenBSD on the list and test it out. The thing I don't know how to do: set up 9P. On Nov 9, 2007, at 3:07 PM, David Leimbach wrote: > On Nov 9, 2007 11:56 AM, Pietro Gagliardi <pietro10@mac.com> wrote: >> I must be confused.

Otherwise, ignore everything I say. obviously he's posting because some of us use OpenBSD on a regular basis along with Plan 9. in that case, this is extremely useful. quit being an ass or go away. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread
