Subject: [9fans] exportfs -r vs /rc/bin/service/!tcp564
Date: Mon,  6 May 2013 16:41:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4f5ad5c890f7b32a04df7bb3ae1afca1@ladd.quanstro.net> (raw)

exportfs(4) claims that -r skips the initial protocol.  but it appears that
it only skips the initial part of the intial protocol, making
	; cat /n/sources/plan9/rc/bin/service/!tcp564
	#!/bin/rc
	mount '#s/boot' /root $rootspec
	exec /bin/exportfs -r /root
incompatable with real file servers.  it appears that the
linux 9p file module requires this behavior, and it is not
capable of connecting to regular file servers.

so my question is, should the manual page or the code
be corrected?
