Subject: [9front] [PATCH] make exportfs give "standard" error for file does exist
Date: Sun, 23 Jul 2023 16:07:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <71ed8c49-2174-0ec5-ad59-5e1c5256fc70@posixcafe.org> (raw)

Certain 9p clients *cough* Guhnew/Linucks *cough* expect a fileserver to give back specifically "file does not exist"
for this certain error case. For linux specifically this results in create being broken. This patch catches this error
and returns back what the broken client would like.

This sucks, telling linux to go kick rocks would also be fine in my opinion.
