The nice folks at google keep doing us favours (sort of...), this
time with an OS X port of Fuse:

Do we have a user space 9p-to-Fuse bridge anywhere?

I think Russ did a Fuse 9p implementation. It should even work on FreeBSD.

Yeah I'm pretty psyched about the whole thing :-)

Nice for you (grump), still wishing for Win-Fuse,
or even better Win-9p.

There is MS technology to do this (IFS) but, when I started
to look at it I got afraid, very afriad.

make sure to use the Genuine Russ version of 9pfuse (as noted above).
there is another package by the same name that is a toy.

The real question is if we can get iPhone to replace Bitsy :-)

looks like at least (hopefully only) minor changes will be needed to
9pfuse (and mount, but that's trivial). i'm looking into it now, but
if i don't get it in the next 45 minutes, i won't have another chance
to look at it until tuesday.

on first pass, it looks like just mountfuse() in 9pfuse/fuse.c.

I've got a basic version running for people who have the MacFUSE
fusefs.kext installed. It's basically a reworking from the MacFUSE
mount_bsd.c calls to the mount_fusefs (only check is how OSX ends up
loading kext resources if not already in place).

I'll send Russ the diffs since it also means that some of the rc
scripts for mount|unmount need to be modified... or I can just post
back to the list.
