Using sqweek's 9mount is strongly recommended if you are using v9fs,
not only it deals with the silly and deficient linux mount command
(which somebody should submit a patch for some day I guess if we want
to be taken seriously as an nfs replacement), but it also hides the
ever changing v9fs mount flags under a more consistent and clear
interface.
The ability to mount and unmount 9p file servers without being root is
just a great extra.

P.S.: Oh, and I think debian even packages 9mount!
