I think that would require one or two new command line options to 9pfuse, to pass "-o dev,suid" to fusermount. (fusermount defaults to "-o nodev,nosuid".) Come to think of it, 9pfuse should probably offer a general way to pass mount options to fusermount, as a matter of indirection. > If you want to back up a full Unix file system to Venti, > you should simply use vbackup(8). That could work, if I also wanted to archive everything under /tmp (and all the other temporary files peppered about Unix file systems). -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |Smiley PGP key ID: BC549F8B | |Fingerprint: 9329 DB4A 30F5 6EDA D2BA 3489 DAB7 555A BC54 9F8B| +---------------------------------------------------------------+
