This is certainly true, but isn't really relevant here.
If you're looking to do ad hoc sharing, the easiest way is probably
with listen1, exportfs, and import. I just tested this in two 9vx
instances on the same machine (which already had my normal one
running):
9vx 1:
:; 9fs wiki
post...
:; ls /mnt/wiki | wc
235 235 6413
:; aux/listen1 -tv 'tcp!*!12345' /bin/exportfs
(the -v isn't really needed there)
9vx 2:
:; ls /mnt/wiki
:; import -A tcp!localhost!12345 /mnt/wiki
:; ls /mnt/wiki | wc
235 235 6413
aux/listen1 grabs a network port (tcp port 12345 on all interfaces, in
this invocation) and when a new connection comes in, runs
/bin/exportfs, which has a little protocol to negotiate what namespace
to export and then exports it. on the other host, import dials the
exportfs listener started above and mounts the /mnt/wiki exported
there on its own namespace.
that's my understanding of what you're after, anyway. if there's
something else you're looking for, just drop a note.
