Maybe the authors of the 9p.txt file in Documentation (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt) could provide enlightenment, too. I do believe there is a lot of potential within and without the kernel for 9P to enable wondrous new and perhaps better capabilities, but I'm not yet an expert. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
