If you check the script of 9fs (/rc/bin/9fs), it doesn't do a mount -c.

-c allows creation in the root of a mounted directory.

That should do it.

Ok. I'm feeling a little silly asking this because from what
I've read in the archives, this is well documented there.
However, I can't seem to get it to work.

I have my fileserver up and running, and I am trying to
intialise it with the recent plan9.9gz from my cpu/auth
server.

I have issued the 'allow' command in config mode, and then
mounted the filesystem on the cpu/auth server with '9fs fs'
to extract the distribution. However, when I issue the
command

wrap/inst -ovr /n/fs plan9.9gz

I get the following error repeatedly during the extraction

mkdir /n/fs/<directory>: mounted directory forbids creation

Here is the directory listing (lc -ld /n/fs) from the
cpu/auth server

d-r-xr-xr-x M 112 adm adm 0 Oct 28 04:14 /

I recognise that the directory doesn't permit writing, but I
can't seem to figure out how to change the permissions such
that I can extract the distribution. The worm cartridges are
rewritable media, and they do not have write protection
enabled.

The filesystem 'main' is a MO jukebox with a pair of SCSI
discs as cache setup with the following filsys command

filsys main c[w0.<0-1>.0]j(w1.6.0w1.5.0w1.4.0)(l1.<0-37>.0l1.<38-75>.0)

What am I doing wrong?
