    + V9FS: 9P2000 for Linux
    + ======================
    +
    +ABOUT
    +=====
    +
    +v9fs is a Unix implementation of the Plan 9 9p remote filesystem protocol.
    +
    +This software was originally developed by Ron Minnich <rminnich@lanl.gov>
    +and Maya Gokhale <maya@lanl.gov>. Additional development by Greg Watson
    +<gwatson@lanl.gov> and most recently Eric Van Hensbergen
    +<ericvh@gmail.com> and Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net>.
    +
    +USAGE
    +=====
    +
    +For remote file server:
    +
    + mount -t 9P 10.10.1.2 /mnt/9
    +
    +For Plan 9 From User Space applications (http://swtch.com/plan9)
    +
    + mount -t 9P /tmp/ns.root.:0/acme/acme /mnt/9 proto=unix,name=$USER
    +
    +OPTIONS
    +=======
    +
    + proto=name select an alternative transport. Valid options are
    + currently either unix (specifying a named pipe mount
    + point) or tcp (specifying a normal TCP/IP connection)
    +
    + name=name user name to attempt mount as on the remote server. The
    + server may override or ignore this value. Certain user
    + names may require authentication.
    +
    + aname=name aname specifies the file tree to access when the server is
    + offering several exported file systems.
    +
    + debug=n specifies debug level. The debug level is a bitmask.
    + 0x01 = display verbose error messages
    + 0x02 = developer debug (DEBUG_CURRENT)
    + 0x04 = display 9P trace
    + 0x08 = display VFS trace
    + 0x10 = display Marshalling debug
    + 0x20 = display RPC debug
    + 0x40 = display transport debug
    + 0x80 = display allocation debug
    +
    + maxdata=n the number of bytes to use for 9P packet payload (msize)
    +
    + port=n port to connect to on the remote server
    +
    + timeout=n request timeouts (in ms) (default 60000ms)
    +
    + noextend force legacy mode (no 9P2000.u semantics)
    +
    + uid attempt to mount as a particular uid
    +
    + gid attempt to mount with a particular gid
    +
    + afid security channel - used by Plan 9 authentication protocols
    +
    + nodevmap do not map special files - represent them as normal files.
    + This can be used to share devices/named pipes/sockets between
    + hosts. This functionality will be expanded in later versions.
    +
    +RESOURCES
    +=========
    +
    +The Linux version of the 9P server, along with some client-side utilities
    +can be found at http://v9fs.sf.net (along with a CVS repository of the
    +development branch of this module). There are user and developer mailing
    +lists here, as well as a bug-tracker.
    +
    +For more information on the Plan 9 Operating System check out
    +http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9
    +
    +For information on Plan 9 from User Space (Plan 9 applications and libraries
    +ported to Linux/BSD/OSX/etc) check out http://swtch.com/plan9
    +
    +
    +STATUS
    +======
    +
    +The 2.6 kernel support is working on PPC and x86.
