* [9front] File sharing with Windows

I'm quite new to this, so excuse me if I miss something obvious.

I have a Windows PC on the same network as the 9front one, and I want to share files between them. Can I make a network-shared directory that both can access? Or do I need to use something like SSH.

I heard that WSL communicates with the Windows filesystem through 9P shared directories, that makes me believe that a network share should just work.

Thanks.

I've looked at the manpage, which lead me to listen(8), saying that it's supposed to be ran by tcp445 - which does contain a call to cifsd. I'm scratching my head on how I'm supposed to correctly configure and use that service. I mean, it's there, what do I do to make it actually run?

I don't think neither my Plan 9 nor my Windows skills are there (yet) :)

That sucks. Should've expected that from Microsoft though...

Best bet may be cifsd(8), that should expose a network drive to your windows machine. As a warning, I don't think this code gets taken out for walks
often. We may need to add SMBv3 support for 'modern' windows.

They use the linux flavor of 9p, we only speak 9p2000. Not saying that you couldn't get this to work, I am just not aware of anyone who has. If you
do I'd be curious to see what kind of arm wrestling you have to do on the windows side.

You'd think, right? Unfortunately, the 9p-mounting functionality isn't
exposed to other applications, so it's not an option. When I last
checked in on this in January, there were no plans to make it publicly
usable: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4070 .

I think Jacob's got the right approach, at least as far as I'm aware.

Cheers,

Marshall

change /bin/service/!tcp445, rename it to tcp445 and run
% aux/listen
then it should listen for it.

or use aux/listen1 instead, without need of dealing with files under 
/bin/service

One additional note I would add here:

aux/listen will periodically check for new services in /bin/service.
So if you have aux/listen running already, renaming the file should be enough
to get the listener setup for the new service.

I changed /rc/bin/service/!tcp445 to:

	#!/bin/rc
	exec /bin/ip/cifsd -f /sys/log/cifsd.debug -w WORKGROUP -o trspaces $*

(The only thing I thought made sense to change was the workgroup, it now matches the Windows PC).

And then ran aux/listen. Am I supposed to find a new network share on the Windows PC now? I don't.

Jacob mentioned SMBv3 support, but going through the Windows features I could enable SMBv1/CIFS support, which didn't help.

I thought I should check the debug log - /sys/log/cifsd.debug doesn't even exist. How do I check if the service is actually running?

Should've known that to begin with.

Yes, which is what mkf9 told me to do. I meant to say that I modified tcp445, not !tcp445, sorry.

it doesn't appear on auto discovery,
add it manually (map a network drive).

What does the exclamation point at the start of the service file name do?

I don't see that documented in the man page for listen, and looking at 
/rc/bin/service on my own system, it is present on more files than not, 
but there are a few which do not have it.

When I try to telnet to one of those ports, the ones with the 
exclamation points do not allow the connection, but the ones without 
them do, which leads me to believe that it is effectively disabling 
those services, so wouldn't !tcp445 need to be renamed to remove the 
exclamation point for this to work?

Gotcha.

FYI, I am showing that you sent your reply about 2.5 hours before I sent 
the message you replied to.

Something may be amiss with your clock or time zone settings.

you could try using cifsd to import data from windows into plan9.

I wrote and used this file server daily for about 15 years, but I no longer need windows for my work
and so the code has stagnated, whilst windows keeps moving.

The last person I suggested cifs to had no luck getting it to connect and authenticate under windows10;
the last system I used myself was Windows 7, and this needed a couple of registry settings adjusted
to allow it to support the (now depreciated) smb2 auth cifs still uses.

To be clear - windows 10 may work with some registry hacks but noone has done it yet.

Really an SMB3 plan9 client is the way to go - more efficient (larger packets) and simpler (much of the historic
cruft in smb2 has gone).

I am happy to help if you want to try, but I can only give limited help as I have no windows boxen.

-Steve

it used to work for me last time i tried it on windows 10 out of the box
only needed to enable smb 1 from optional features.

SMBv3 would be a great addition, but for now cifsd works just fine for me. There were no hacks necessary - I just had to enable SMBv1/CIFS from the Windows features thing.

Thanks for the great software!

i think you mean cifs(4), the client, no?

not cifsd(8), aka ip/cifsd, the server.

as i remember you wrote the client,
the server is my baby.

absolutely.

i was just suggesting that using a cifs client is another approach, rather than a server.

sorry if there was any confusion

What would be even better: a native 9p integration for windows.

If someone wants to do that, as native as possible (i.e as a separate 
drive in windows explorer using native functionality, with direct 
read/write and optional cfs-like caching) I'd pay 5 euros for it.

Notably, windows has a virtual filesystem driver now, ProjFS:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/projfs/projected-file-system

I was going to play around with it to see if I could get a 9pfuse
equivalent going, but then I realized I had to install windows and
stopped. It's worth a look if someone's interested in doing the dew.

Cheers,

Marshall

I believe Brucee did an IFS 9p driver for windows as part of rangboom.

when i asked he would not (not able to?) release it, perhaps he or Skip might be willing to release it now (10 odd years later)
