Re: [9fans] query on styxlisten (Inferno) and mount (Linux)?

We invoke styxlisten something like:

	styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U'

This exports the entire Inferno root. Styxlisten will start a  
listener and return, so I don't think you need the "&". 564 is the  
usual 9p port.

You can export pieces of the inferno root namespace, rather than the  
whole thing, by appending an (inferno-rooted) path to the command.

	mount -t 9p <infernohost> /mnt/n/infernohost

Gets us hooked up from linux to the inferno 9p service started above;  
we don't feed any options to the mount command for this kind of use.

I don't think it hangs -- I think you have a missing "'" in your  
original styxlisten command, and then background it with "&", so you  
don't see that it hasn't started running.
