I evaluated both v9fs and FUSE for my project (I don't want to link to it
until it does something actually useful ;) ) ... and it seemed that v9fs
just wasn't UNIXy enough for my purposes -- the Plan9 way and the UNIX way
were different enough to make me nervous. I don't remember the specific
details (this was a few months ago), but I do remember that v9fs had no
extended attribute support, which was a showstopper for me. Also, I
couldn't find any userspace library for writing 9P servers.
Others may have reached similar conclusions. Or maybe FUSE is just
better-marketed. ;)
Either way, I am a happy FUSE user. I think it offers things v9fs doesn't,
and I'd like to see it in mainline. :)
