You don't need to do anything, just
; modprobe 9p2000
or
; modprobe 9p
should work fine...

Default Dapper has an older, "buggier" version of v9fs (2.6.15). Edgy
has a much more reasonable version (2.6.17).

Does the wiki have instructions on how to make UBUNTU (Dapper Drake)
speak v9fs? It seems to me that I need a recompiled kernel and I'm
not familiar enough with the procedure to upgrade the system at that
level.

Edgy+v9fs has been reliable. i have had a r/b client (uses v9fs) running
continuously for a couple of weeks now.

Wow, does Ubuntu come with a 9p kernel module by default? That's sweet...

all part of the virtue of being in the mainline kernel. We probably
should be more diligent about backporting fixes to popular kernel
releases (such as dapper), but I doubt we have enough users yet to
justify distribution maintainers to pull them. Similar goes for
getting 9p servers in by default.

The latter point is worth being addressed: currently it is all but
straightforward to set up a proper 9p filesystem (with authentication),
mainly due to the lack of a server. As long as there is no server readily
available 9p will have trouble gaining any ground on Linux beyond Plan 9
users running also Linux. I therefore very much look forward to your
planned efforts for next year to work on a server.

There are many 9P servers coming with p9p. You can also write your
own servers either using p9p or lib{s,n}pfs.
