As M. Mohan Kumar wrote, 9p.u is the extension of 9p protocol developed during Linux porting of 9p. Original 9p was designed for Plan 9 operating system. 9p.u has support for numerical uids, gids, additional mode and permissio bits. But still 9p.u lacked support for full Linux VFS operations. Such as xattrs, locking etc. In order to overcome these issues and address functionalities provides by Linux VFS a new protocol 9p2000.L was developed (http://code.google.com/p/diod/wiki/protocol) By default 9p.u is used, you can override by that mount -t 9p -otrans=virtio,version=9p2000.L tag /mnt And all this stuff works fine with the .L variant, and it quite a bit faster as well. Why it is not the default is a different question.. ;) We identified and fixed the issue, but it looks like the issue is in a codepath whith don't receive much testing, since it exists since about day one and no one ran across it so far. So we'll fix it (most likely not in the next upload of _wheezy_ version), but the recommended and much better approach is to use another protocol.
