[9fans] venti + Nt

[Benjamin Huntsman]

Has anyone gotten Nt to read/write from Venti on a Plan 9 or Linux system?

I figure one could set up something with SAMBA, but there's no native 9p for Nt, right?

There is native 9p for Nt.

Plan 9's aquarela(8), see the example for reading the dump. Cifs
clients can write to the intervening venti-backed Plan 9 filesystem,
but there is nothing (that I know of) like p9p's vbackup(8) for
dealing directly with venti.

There are potential ways to have 9P on windows I suppose via some of
the 9Ps for interpreted languages. But venti talks venti, not 9P.

There is an inferno venti of some level of completion. Last I
checked, the clients, but not the server, are in http://
code.google.com/p/inferno-os/.

Perhaps related: fossilcons(8), talking about stat, says:
          The bits denoted by capital letters are included to support
          non-Plan 9 systems.  They are not made visible by the 9P
          protocol.
Has anything ever been done with this, or is this support still
theoretical?
