[9fans] Synthetic file systems in linux?

I'm fed up with having to use an ugly GUI for running perforce, and
I've just realized that a synthetic file system interface to it would
let me automate a lot of my acme-side connection to it, reasonably
cleanly.
On plan9 I'd just crib one of the shell script-based file servers and
run from there; is there an equivalent for Linux? Especially with
v9fs now in the kernel?

Couldn't you do something even with VFS? If not, FUSE (the crunchy
bits not withstanding) is somewhat mature as well... There should be
plenty of examples with those two options. I think FUSE has FTP & HTTP
fs, which could be 'cribbed'.

to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy --
and without consciousness.

I am, of course, dim.

I just need to use plan9ports to write my server, and mount -t 9p the
bind-point in my p9p namespace directory.

Really, I can think sometimes.

there's also 9pfuse (russ' version) under p9p.
