Is this referring to avoiding the usage of createfile and friends in
9pfile.h for highly structured trees?
Yes. You can look at the named examples to see
the alternative. My experience has been, well, what
it says in the man page: the File interface was an
interesting idea but is rarely useful.
I understand, what confused me was that ramfs is not using File/
createfile.
So even though ramfs could have taken advantage of the createfile
tools it didn't. why?
The only fileserver that I found that was actually using createfile
is rdbfs.
