Neat, thanks!
I recently committed a version that uses a simplified version of the C
program[*] but doesn't need to go through /srv.
Your version of -srv mode is certainly better though!
An interesting idea would be to combine both of your modes: proxy.go
would always create an unique name for /srv, and then print it to
stdout. A wrapper shell script could then do
proxy | while read i; do
(
mount -b $i /dev
$*
) &
done
(Apologies for the unixisms; I couldn't figure out how to read in like
that in rc.)
[*]: None of that threaded copying monkey business I had before; it's
just passed the 9P connection as fd 0 and then calls mount(0, "/dev").
