[9fans] Mounting 9p on an OSX host?

[9fans] Mounting 9p on an OSX host?

[Ciprian Dorin Craciun]

    Is there a "quick" and "stable" way to mount a 9p exported
file-system on an OSX host?  (By "quick way" I mean something which
doesn't imply compiling;  and by "safe" something that others can
recommend as not crashing the system...)


    Obviously I've found the following:

    * https://code.google.com/p/mac9p -- however they say on the main
project page "use at your own risk", which makes me pause for a second
before trying...

    * http://osxfuse.github.io/ -- however I need to find (and
compile) a 9p implementation that uses this;  (anyone can recommend
one?)


    Something else?  (From the archives it seems a similar question
was posted back a couple of years, but even then no direct answer.)


    Thanks,
    Ciprian.

FWIW I've found osxfuse pretty unstable, YMMV.

Hola,

I wrote mac9p, it works relatively well, I know a few people use it and hat haven’t heard
about crashing the kernel or something. Give it a try, that was a general warning
I wrote when I first pushed the code years ago.

here’s the README with a few instructions:
https://code.google.com/p/mac9p/wiki/README 

 there’s also the mount_9p(8) man page.

have fun

I have had very good results with mac9p. I mostly use it
with p9p's srv to get authenticated connections. I've gotten
very few instances of unexpected behavior (dropped
connections I couldn't reliably attribute to network issues),
but nothing that impacted other parts of the Mac.
