1 | V9FS: 9P2000 for Linux |
2 | ====================== | |
3 | ||
4 | ABOUT | |
5 | ===== | |
6 | ||
7 | v9fs is a Unix implementation of the Plan 9 9p remote filesystem protocol. | |
8 | ||
9 | This software was originally developed by Ron Minnich <rminnich@lanl.gov> | |
10 | and Maya Gokhale <maya@lanl.gov>. Additional development by Greg Watson | |
11 | <gwatson@lanl.gov> and most recently Eric Van Hensbergen | |
12 | <ericvh@gmail.com> and Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net>. | |
13 | ||
14 | USAGE | |
15 | ===== | |
16 | ||
17 | For remote file server: | |
18 | ||
19 | mount -t 9P 10.10.1.2 /mnt/9 | |
20 | ||
21 | For Plan 9 From User Space applications (http://swtch.com/plan9) | |
22 | ||
23 | mount -t 9P `namespace`/acme /mnt/9 -o proto=unix,name=$USER | |
24 | ||
25 | OPTIONS | |
26 | ======= | |
27 | ||
28 | proto=name select an alternative transport. Valid options are | |
29 | currently: | |
30 | unix - specifying a named pipe mount point | |
31 | tcp - specifying a normal TCP/IP connection | |
32 | fd - used passed file descriptors for connection | |
33 | (see rfdno and wfdno) | |
34 | ||
35 | name=name user name to attempt mount as on the remote server. The | |
36 | server may override or ignore this value. Certain user | |
37 | names may require authentication. | |
38 | ||
39 | aname=name aname specifies the file tree to access when the server is | |
40 | offering several exported file systems. | |
41 | ||
42 | debug=n specifies debug level. The debug level is a bitmask. | |
43 | 0x01 = display verbose error messages | |
44 | 0x02 = developer debug (DEBUG_CURRENT) | |
45 | 0x04 = display 9P trace | |
46 | 0x08 = display VFS trace | |
47 | 0x10 = display Marshalling debug | |
48 | 0x20 = display RPC debug | |
49 | 0x40 = display transport debug | |
50 | 0x80 = display allocation debug | |
51 | ||
52 | rfdno=n the file descriptor for reading with proto=fd | |
53 | ||
54 | wfdno=n the file descriptor for writing with proto=fd | |
55 | ||
56 | maxdata=n the number of bytes to use for 9P packet payload (msize) | |
57 | ||
58 | port=n port to connect to on the remote server | |
59 | ||

60 | noextend force legacy mode (no 9P2000.u semantics) |
61 | ||
62 | uid attempt to mount as a particular uid | |
63 | ||
64 | gid attempt to mount with a particular gid | |
65 | ||
66 | afid security channel - used by Plan 9 authentication protocols | |
67 | ||
68 | nodevmap do not map special files - represent them as normal files. | |
69 | This can be used to share devices/named pipes/sockets between | |
70 | hosts. This functionality will be expanded in later versions. | |
