I evaluated both v9fs and FUSE for my project (I don't want to link to it=20 until it does something actually useful ;) ) ... and it seemed that v9fs=20 just wasn't UNIXy enough for my purposes -- the Plan9 way and the UNIX way= =20 were different enough to make me nervous. I don't remember the specific=20 details (this was a few months ago), but I do remember that v9fs had no=20 extended attribute support, which was a showstopper for me. Also, I=20 couldn't find any userspace library for writing 9P servers. Others may have reached similar conclusions. Or maybe FUSE is just=20 better-marketed. ;) Either way, I am a happy FUSE user. I think it offers things v9fs doesn't,= =20 and I'd like to see it in mainline. :) =2D- Josh =2D-=20 Joshua J.
