i want to use /lib/namespace.$servername to mount
a second file server. the second file server is not running
exportfs; and i would like to mount it directly
and not import it.
i think i must be missing something, but i can't figure out
how to do this.
import fruitcake!9fs / /n/fruitcake
doesn't work (and in fact hangs) because fruitcake isn't
listening to exportfs. "mount" doesn't work because it
requires open not dial to yield a fd.
am i missing something? if so, how do i do this?
if not, then i propose the following change to
/sys/src/libauth/newns.c:
static int
callexport(char *sys, char *tree)
{
char *na, buf[3];
int fd;
AuthInfo *ai;
na = netmkaddr(sys, 0, "exportfs");
if((fd = dial(na, 0, 0, 0)) < 0)
return -1;
>> if(strstr(na, "!exportfs") == nil)
>> return fd;
i agree that "import" as the directive seems a bit
wrong. perhaps a more extensive change could be worked
up for a new verb called "srv" or some such?
