There are actually several modules which work together to provide 9p,
there is the 9p file system, the 9p network module (which includes as
a default the socket transport), and then additional transport plugins
(for KVM, infiniband, etc.) Its possible you have the file system
module, but not the network module -- however, I thought the
dependencies have been setup to fix that for some time. The best
thing to do is to turn on debug with your mount and look at the
/var/log/messages. Linux errno error codes don't give the best error
and protocol not supported could actually mean one of several things,
the /var/log/messages with debug on will clarify the problem. So add
-o debug=0xffff to your mount line and post the /var/log/messages
output and we'll see what we can do to help you.
