Re: [9fans] troll paper

I'll add that it takes a special brand of courage to ask "Why has everything got to be a file" in front of a Plan 9 crowd ;) The off-track discussions with Daniel were enlightening. I think his perspective on "NoT" is quite valuable, and has inspired some ideas since I got back. ron minnich

Dear 9fans, Those of you who run a Plan 9 or Inferno box, could you please share the contents of your /rc/bin/service or /dis/svc dir ? I'm writing about Plan 9's listen, and I've read the scripts included in the default distribution (e.g.

Re: [9fans] Re: Mounting a 9P filesystem under a Linux "user namespace"

Thanks Moody for the nudge in a direction I hadn't explored. It seems that Linux does not see 9p as been safe to mount without privilege. From what I understand, only FS with the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag can be mounted in a user namespace. It seems that v9fs is not one of them: For example, tmpfs is

[9fans] Mounting a 9P filesystem under a Linux "user namespace"

Dear 9fans, I'm trying to mount a 9p filesystem under a Linux user "namespace". Apparently this is verboten, because mounting filesystems is dangerous. So only fuse is permitted inside a user namespace. I've tried - using a setuid binary: does not work inside the user namespace, - 9pfuse and
