Hello,
I worked this summer as an intern under Julien Grall and Wei Liu.
My project was to develop a prototype/proof of concept xen front/back
end for the 9p file system. I mostly hacked the virtio 9p system.
This project was not complete, at the end of the summer. Julien
said that you all wanted to include this in the next release of xen in
January, and offered to take it over. I told Julien I wanted to
continue working on it, which I have been doing, very much in the
background.
I came upon a bug in my code recently that made me aware that I am
not clear what the expectation for what I deliver should be: i.e.,
whether it's still a prototype, or whether this should be production
software.
Right now, I do not modify the toolstack (I never learned how), but
rather start and pause my guest, and then modify xenstore, manually. I
can fix my bug in the same manner, but this will limit the usefulness of
what I deliver. To do more will hit up against the limitations of my
time and knowledge.
So please let me know what you're expecting, especially wrt the
user interface, and when I would need to complete everything for this
release.
Thank you.
Linda Jacobson
