Try an ip address instead of the DNS name. For the DNS name you'll need a helper like 9mount.

Hmmm, that's really new behavior-- never used to fail without mount helper. Can you give the exact error message?

 # strace -o trace.txt mount -t 9p thenewsh.com /mnt
 mount: Protocol not supported

Trace.txt is attached with full details.

I've tried several variants, such as thenewsh.com:/path
with similar results.

The documentation in the linux kernel says you merely

mount -t 9p ipaddress /mntpoint
this fails on my system since /sbin/mount tries to execute /sbin/ mount.9p and fails. Am I supposed to have an /sbin/mount.9p? (Anyone know which ubunutu package should have this? If not, where I might find sources? Ironic since Ubuntu came with the 9p kernel module) Or should I be using a different mount program for the purpose? The linux Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt should probably be updated with more details, either way.
