First of all, if you happen to be around San Francisco Bay Area on Sep 30, you might be interested in joining an unconference that is being hosted at Sun's campus where I work: http://cloudcamp-silicon-valley-08.eventbrite.com/ In fact, if there's enough interest we can meet early and I can give the interested parties the tour of the campus combined with some Java (the good kind) and chatting.
Now, why is this relevant to 9fans? One word: 9grid. Well, better yet two words: Elastic 9grid(*). If you're still not convinced -- drop by and ask me in person ;-) So that's the announcement part. Now the question: is there a piece of software already available that would act like an adapter between NFS clients and 9P servers with the reasonable set of assumptions in place about how to actually make this combination work for existing NFS client implementations? Of course, given the differences between 9P and NFS, I don't expect just about any 9P server to be NFS-mountable, so lets say that all I really care about is exportfs(4) 9P server. IOW, POSIX filesystem being exported over 9P. Thanks, Roman. P.S. The unconference and getting together earlier are independent events. You are supposed to register for the former and drop me an email for the latter to happen. (*) http://aws.amazon.com/
