An OCaml/Mirage-friendly implementation of the Plan9 filesystem protocol

• f2f 11y ago
  This is cool. I've written two or three implementations of 9p in the past, the more the merrier :) In the other direction, I ported Ocaml's interpreter to Plan 9. Wish there were more people using it back in the day, but that's what you get from a dying operating system... 9P is cool though. Simple, elegant, working.

      Seconding this, I'd love to see it.

    The space seems pretty merry :) http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations

  Why is it that almost always 9P is implemented instead of the improved 9P2000?

    Bottom of the README says: > This library supports the 9P2000.u extension
    • djs55 11y ago
      That's right -- it'll negotiate 9P2000.u if it can and otherwise drop back to 9P2000. I don't think it'll ever support 9P2000.l the very Linux-specific variant.

        Is there any reason to support 9P2000.l if you're not Linux? Are there Linux-specific filesystem servers that won't negotiate plain 9P2000?

  I'd be interested to know how it compares to more recent protocols.
