··· 73 73 RESOURCES 74 74 ========= 75 75 76 - The Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project 77 - on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs). 76 + Our current recommendation is to use Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno) 77 + as the 9p server. You can start a 9p server under Inferno by issuing the 78 + following command: 79 + ; styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U*' 80 + 81 + The -A specifies an unauthenticated export. The 564 is the port # (you may 82 + have to choose a higher port number if running as a normal user). The '#U*' 83 + specifies exporting the root of the Linux name space. You may specify a 84 + subset of the namespace by extending the path: '#U*'/tmp would just export 85 + /tmp. For more information, see the Inferno manual pages covering styxlisten 86 + and export. 87 + 88 + A Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project 89 + on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs). There is also a 90 + more stable single-threaded version of the server (named spfs) available from 91 + the same CVS repository. 78 92 79 93 There are user and developer mailing lists available through the v9fs project 80 94 on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/v9fs). ··· 110 96 111 97 The 2.6 kernel support is working on PPC and x86. 112 98 113 - PLEASE USE THE SOURCEFORGE BUG-TRACKER TO REPORT PROBLEMS. 99 + PLEASE USE THE KERNEL BUGZILLA TO REPORT PROBLEMS.
