Mounting 9P on Unix-like operating systems ========================================== ## 9pfs Under GNU/Linux and *BSD operating systems it is recommended to use [9pfs](https://github.com/bunny351/9pfs) to mount 9p services. OpenBSD: doas 9pfs -o allow_other 9front /mnt ## 9pfs and drawterm When using drawterm it is possible to serve a 9P connection directly to the host system by binding `/mnt/term/net` over `/net` and starting exportfs(1) like shown in the script below #!/bin/rc rfork n bind /mnt/term/net /net aux/listen1 -t tcp!*!12345 /bin/exportfs -r / & os mkdir -p /tmp/drawterm os 9pfs localhost -p 12345 /tmp/drawterm It requires 9pfs to be installed. A side bonus of doing it this way is, that it uses the drawterm's aan connection to keep the 9p connection up. ## v9fs The Linux kernel contains a 9p driver that can be made to mostly work with 9front systems. Two things to keep in mind however: * Auth will not work * Currently file creation is broken. Mounting: sudo mount -t 9p -o version=9p2000,port=564,trans=tcp your.9p.server /mnt/9p
