[9fans] plumbing on served fs

[cej]

hi all!

I have a problem:
when I mount ISO9660 CD under /n/cd,
start acme from the same namespace
3-click on /n/cd/test.ps,
the file appears as src text in acme frame,
instead being plumbed to page.
cp /n/cd/test.ps .
and 3-click on test.ps behaves OK.
The same holds for other non-textual filetypes (jpg...),
also on ext2fs served files.

Is this correct behavior? If so, why?

Thanks, regards,

++pac.

it happens because when you mount the
cd that happens in just the window you're
using and not anywhere else.  in particular,
it doesn't get mounted in the plumber's
name space, and so asking the plumber about
/n/cd/test.ps fails, so acme falls back to its
own defaults -- in this case just opening 
the file.

others have posted some tricks with srvfs
to work around this.  instead of those, i just tell
the plumber to do the mount too.  i type 
Local 9fs cd in an acme window and then
middle-click it (execute in acme) and right
click it (send to plumber).  with this plumb
rule:

# stupid rule to run programs
kind is text
data matches 'Local (.*)'
plumb to none
plumb start rc -c $1
