> Are redirfs, badsrv, intended to do the same thing as "Plan B"?

After using Plan B and getting convinced that I wanted most of it
to be happy, I got back to my Plan A which was just to use Plan 9.
Yes, we make lots of plans here.

both programs give you

- lack of binding or connections to files. You keep them open, but
  that only goes down to redirfs. From there on, the file could be
  reopen. (Unless you ask for it, files open in write mode are not
  redirected, to avoid surprises).

- some adaptation to changes in your environment. Your programs
  can start using different devices when they show up, depending
  on your preferences (as said in the configuration file).
