That's correct. You need to authenticate to mount xcpu. We normally use xcpu without mounting (connecting from user-space 9P clients). If you have a convincing case for using it mounted, I can probably write a simple mounter that does the authentication before it handles the connection to the kernel.

On a cursory look, I think the issue here is that the v9fs client tries to attach to the server with afid = NOFID (note: the afid=%u option does not set the afid, a v9fs bug?) and xcpufs does not support attaching with NOFID. (in other words, xcpufs requires authentication).

I'm trying to mount an XCPU client on my local laptop but am having problems doing so.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f admin_key
mkdir /etc/xcpu
cp admin_key* /etc/xcpu
xcpufs -d
xgroupset add 127.0.0.1 root 0
xuserset add 127.0.0.1 root 0 root /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
xrx 127.0.0.1 /bin/date

That Works

Now I want to mount the client on /mnt/xcpu1/1 so I do:
mount -t 9p 127.0.0.1 /mnt/xcpu/1/ -o uname=root,port=6667

xcpufs reports:
<<< (0x15b42e0) Tversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000.u'
>>> (0x15b42e0) Rversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000.u'
<<< (0x15b42e0) Tattach tag 0 fid 0 afid -1 uname root aname nuname -1
>>> (0x15b42e0) Rerror tag 0 ename authentication failed ecode 5


When I leave off the uname=root parameter I get:
<<< (0x15b42e0) Tversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000.u'
>>> (0x15b42e0) Rversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000.u'
<<< (0x15b42e0) Tattach tag 0 fid 0 afid -1 uname nobody aname nuname -1
>>> (0x15b42e0) Rerror tag 0 ename unknown user ecode 5


I'm using a ubuntu 2.6.27-11-generic kernel with xcpu-1.2.3 running all commands as root. Any ideas?
