Dear all, I have read a post from Eric Van Hensbergen about paravirtualized filesystems. This was of interest to me, and I tried to pull npfs from subversion. As a client I am using the 9pfuse to mount the tree of the npfs server. Is this a good match, or should I use something from the npfs tree directly? Is npfs the best choice if I would like to export ufs like filesystems?
After getting it basically up I am facing typically newbie issues, and I would like to share my problems with you in hope to find some further directions in order to do some further RTFM. My biggest issue is that I can only do read operations on the client. How can I set up something like a basic authenticated connection. Just to get the uid over to the npfs in order to act as the right user on the server? I read a bit about factotum, yet I am not sure given the npfs that it supports it... Thank you in advance. Jakob
