Our current recommendation is to use Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com/nferno/index.html)

as the 9p server.  You can start a 9p server under Inferno by issuing the

following command:

   ; styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U*'

Protocol specifications are maintained on github:

http://ericvh.github.com/9p-rfc/



The -A specifies an unauthenticated export.  The 564 is the port # (you may

have to choose a higher port number if running as a normal user).  The '#U*'

specifies exporting the root of the Linux name space.  You may specify a

subset of the namespace by extending the path: '#U*'/tmp would just export

/tmp.  For more information, see the Inferno manual pages covering styxlisten

and export.

9p client and server implementations are listed on

http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations



A Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project

on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs).  The currently

maintained version is the single-threaded version of the server (named spfs)

available from the same SVN repository.

A 9p2000.L server is being developed by LLNL and can be found

at http://code.google.com/p/diod/



There are user and developer mailing lists available through the v9fs project

on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/v9fs).



A stand-alone version of the module (which should build for any 2.6 kernel)

is available via (http://github.com/ericvh/9p-sac/tree/master)
