[9fans] mounting Plan9 fs on linux

[9fans] mounting Plan9 fs on linux

[CLint Davis]

Im still getting Plan9 to work.  As such, when I have to edit a file on
Plan9, it is damn-near impossible ( RIO still doent work yet).

Can I mount Plan9 file system on my linux system?

Note- with rio not working I have no way to edit ( SAM and ACME give errors
about imagebuffer failure).  Is this true?

Use the '-d' option with sam. That will give you a line-editor capability.

I don't know the precise status of this, but linux developers are
working on adding 9p to their system.

There's always ed, or ``sam -d''.

some years ago i have written a little cmd line program for accessing
my plan9 kfs from linux/bsd. you have to create a partition
table/disklabel entry on unix pointing to blocks containing the
kfs:

There *is* the "ed" editor; I've used it for a few things.

Second that.  I've even ported the plan 9 version of
ed (which is the best of the true descendants of the
original ed) back to UNIX, and run it at work on IRIX
and at home on freeBSD.

Is a port of vi being planned?  =)

things with dd and adb -- ugly.

Acme and sam are both graphical editors,
and thus need a frame buffer.  They don't
start for the same reason rio does not.

You can edit files in text mode using ed.

The only file you should need to edit is
vgadb, which is copied in from the root
of the floppy at boot time, so you can just
edit it using any system that can read DOS
disks.
