[9fans] access files from 9front to Linux on the same laptop (2 harddrives).

Hello :)

Let's say I have 2 computers.
I can "sshfs" from 9front to mount the distant (Linux) folders to /n/ssh.

Let's say now that I have 2 SSD on my laptop.
One with 9front, that boots automatically and one with 
Linux, that I can occasionally select at boot with GRUB.

Is there a way to mount the Linux partitions from 9front, to transfer files ?

On 9front, 9front is labeled as /dev/sdE0 and Linux is /dev/sdE2. 

As I'm only testing, the Linux is not currently encrypted.

Hope that's not a moronic question and thank you for any feedback.

If your linux just uses ext[2-4], you can maybe use sigrid's https://git.sr.ht/~ft/ext4srv
If you are doing anything more (like encryption or lvm) you're likely on your own.

2 ideas:

1. create a fat partition for shared files
2. boot the linux in vmx(1), giving it your hard disk
   as its drive, then serve 9p from the virtualized
   linux.

Thanks Ori, I will test your solution too. Maybe it will work with an encrypted Linux SSD, which would be a huge plus :)
