If I could broaden this question a little, I think the 9P file-system is still used more than Plan 9 itself. I'd like to hear from the folks using it, why? What does it offer that you can't get with NFS or AFS?

QEMU, for example, uses 9p for virtio pass-thru filesystems from host to guest. http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup
