Hi folks,
I'd like to do some experiments with 9p and write some little
servers and clients for running on Unix systems (ie. GNU/Linux).
There are some packages (ie.u9fs and npfs) but they neither
worked for me, nor did I find any documentaion :(
Any tips ?
thx

You really want spfs (which is under the npfs directory). Either
Lucho or I can help you with any problems you are having. I also have
some half-formed developer works articles on writing file systems with
npfs that I can send you.

You can use Inferno too.
For a list of other options see also http://cat-v.org/9p/ spfs is not
there because as far as I know there have been no spfs releases so
far, when lucho releases a tarball (and I hope posts an announcement
to 9p-hackers) I will add it.
Best wishes

I like spfs. It works fine for me. Get the v9fs tree and look at the
distribution server that ollie and I wrote -- it's a nice, simple
example of a combined client/server and it was quite easy to write.
spfs is so simple and easy to use that a simple server, in my view, is
better than any amount of documentation.
thanks
ron

I think you mean xcpu, not v9fs tree :)

Install plan9port ( http://swtch.com/plan9port/ ). Read "9 man 3 9p"
for how to write servers. You don't need to do anything special to
write clients, Linux can mount 9p filesystems and you can just do file
I/O on them.

These libraries are a fine way to go if you want to write servers with
the p9p library that can pretty much also work on Plan 9. We did that
for a while with xcpu, but a number of considerations (performance,
familiarity for people on other projects, bugs, etc.) moved us away
from p9p to Lucho's server libraries. They work very well.
thanks
