Thanks for the patch, Uriel. The http://swtch.com/v9fs script stopped working a long time ago, and I never bothered to find out why. I've changed the text on that page, though clicking on the date and checksums link has always shown that the last update was October 2006. A few p9p

By the way, where can one find the git tree with the latest v9fs? I was googling and struggling with the swik 'thing' (words fail me...), but couldn't find it, I know it is somewhere... The latest is in linus' head branch on kernel.org. being unfamilar with this jargon, i initially misread

Also any other feedback on what changes and improvements 9mount might need before it can be made part of p9p (or maybe shipped with the standard linux mount(1) tools?). I'll take a look today so I'm up to date on the current station and let you know. Basically it will probably be best to

The ability to mount file descriptors has been in for a few years (at least since 2006). trans=fd allows you to mount from a file descriptor (or from separate read and write file descriptors). The code should be functional, but it is not something which currently gets regressed very often.
