Okay folks, grabbed npfs and spfs from CVS. 

Both build fine. ufs and npfs seem to work, but I didn't yet
understand how the other servers, ie. ramfs2, work.

BTW, found some ugly bugs: if the server terminates while still 
mounted, restarting fails. strace shows socket is still in use.
I remember there was an socket option to prevent that behaviour.

The 9p driver in linux-2.6.19 (which currently is the latest
stable in Gentoo) is some bit broken. First I had to fix the
init function to abort if the result code if the called functions
(ie. register_filesystem) is non-zero instead of zero ;o
And if you're mounting the npfs or u9fs server and chdir into 
the mountpoint's subdir under the mountpoint itself, the process
will hang (forever?). Obviously an recursion problem.
