Subject: Re: [9fans] Using 9P(2000) in Unix/Linux(/Windows)
Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 08:10:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e02e8a6caa9088f1692bc75cea3d7d18@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d317ff89.0305140021.6246cb68@posting.google.com>
9P has no chance of taking off in the Unix/Linux world:
* It's not complicated enough (symlinks, hard links, caching,
exact Unix semantics)
* The model doesn't match the internal kernel structure
(it's a bad fit with the vnode layer)
* It fixes things that Unix doesn't want to fix (numeric uids)
It might be possible to make a 9P-like protocol for Unix,
but a lot of the nice things about 9P would have to go away.
