Re: [9fans] exporting a namespace

[ron minnich <rminnich@gmail.com>]

Just FYI, I wanted to verify that this works and I just did.

Having a 9vx function as the fs for an Ovaro (TI OMAP)

 sudo ~/src/plan9/vx32/src/9vx/9vx -r   ~/src/9vx-0.12/

The sudo is important.

Then in the 9vx instance:
 aux/listen1 -v  tcp!*!564 /bin/exportfs -s

Then I boot the Ovaro:
Filename '9beagletxt'.
Load address: 0x80310000
Loading: #################################################################
         #########################
done
Bytes transferred = 1315056 (1410f0 hex)
Overo # tftpboot 80300000 0015c928d6a1
smc911x: detected LAN9221 controller
smc911x: phy initialized
smc911x: MAC 00:15:c9:28:d6:a1

TFTP from server 192.168.2.1; our IP address is 192.168.2.5

Load address: 0x80300000
Loading: T #
done
Bytes transferred = 207 (cf hex)
Overo # go 80310000

and then it all comes up with prompts:

The point being that 9vx is a perfectly capable way to have an fs
for all your service needs :-)

Thanks to Geoff for his infinite patience with my questions ...
