I'd like to announce ninefs for win32. This is a Dokan
based 9p filesystem driver for win32 systems built with
npfs. This is an early release intended for the bolder
user. I've set up a mailing list for the project so
please direct feedback there.

This is great news, I guess.

I just downloaded the binaries and tried:

> ninefs -cDd sources.lsub.org z

This resulted in:

What am I doing wrong? :(

I know 'ninefs.exe' successfully resolves the host and attempts to connect
to it on port 564 but have no idea what happens afterwards that results in
this error and no Z: for me.

(This is on Windows XP x64.)

This is prob best done on the ninefs mailing list to
save the 9fans who aren't interested in windows stuff.

Most likely when you ran "dokan /i a" (if you did, at all)
it failed. If you're running on windows xp x64, you will
need a dokan.sys that is compiled for your platform. The
prebuilt one is for the 32-bit kernel.

my 2¢:
i don't see that 9p for windows as being off topic.
i'd rather not have to follow a few dozen lists to keep
up with plan 9.

'dokan /i a' fails to install the (kernel mode) driver but succeeds in
installing the mounter service. There's a build of Dokan for Vista x64 but
none for XP x64.

Thanks for the tip. I won't post here on this matter anymore (unless I find
a definite solution in which case I'll post a succinct description for
whoever may be interested).
