[Qemu-devel] Breaking out virtfs as a standalone server?

[Rob Landley]

Right now, there's no decent userspace server for the 9p filesystem that
I can find.  (In part because the 9P2000.L spec is an undocumented work
in progress.)

The only up-to-date server seems to be virtfs in qemu, which has no TCP
transport layer.

Are there any plans to:

A) Add a TCP transport layer so we can test with something we can
intercept/examine/log/redirect with netcat and such?

B) Break the 9p server out so it could be built as a standalone
userspace program?
