I'm not too fond of the idea... It's not as though amount adds any new functionality over srv+mount[1], and I hate throwing more code at a problem when equivalent code exists elsewhere. Having to introduce a link time dependency on p9p doesn't help convince me either - the current arrangement seems to provide a decent seperation of responsibility. The mount.9p symlink sounds pretty reasonable though, I'll get around to that sometime. [1] actually back when I read over amount I even concluded that it used the same trick as srv -a just with a pipe instead of unix socket! failed to notice the Tversion/Tattach subtlety. is it really worth the coupling to go back to that approach? -sqweek
