Hi, I have copied at sources.lsub.org/9n a copy of a modified plan 9 kernel that has a new mount table and mount driver, (everything near namec changed), along with a variant of fossil that speaks 9P2000.ix aka 9pix.
See 9n.README for the details. It's experimental, so use with caution. I'm using it at my terminal but it's too young to be reliable. I also copied at 9nbits in the same server a few files that might be needed (the new kernel has a new OBEHIND open flag to enable write behind for files and thus has a new fdflush syscall). At http://lsub.org/export/9pix.pdf you have a TR describing the changes made. We also have a nix mark II that has these and other changes, and it's likely we will make it public at the old lsub nix site, but we are still changing it and fixing bugs there, so don't hold your breath. Besides this, the new nix has a new scheduler and a new memory manager. If anyone gives a try to any of this, and finds out any problem, please, concat us off list and we'll try to help. Our main tree has quite a few changes and it's likely I forgot to copy some bit or made some other mistake :) enjoy.
