As an alternative to a 9p vfs for Linux, or
u9fs for NT, or NFS, you could try my
CIFS server, http://www.9fs.org/dist/aquarela.
There is a lot to do, but there's nothing
like users to generate a priority list of
things to implement. It's only tested so far
with the Samba client, and WinXP, as these
are all I have.
Currently, there is enough there to authenticate,
and allow most Windows Exploder operations
like cutting and pasting of files and file
trees to work. Simple editors work, but since
locking does not, complex editors like Word
do not (yet).
It really make you appreciate 9p, when you see
how bulky CIFS is.
