v9fs-userspace

Three basic userspace components to improve v9fs usability under Linux.

MOUNT HELPER

• hueristic for determining transport type
• DNS support for resolving hostname <->ip address
• ssh-based tunneling support (will require server work as well)
• man pages
• debian packaging
• rpm packaging
• (stretch) authentication support (w/p9p)
• (stretch) integration with idmap solution

SERVER

• based on spfs/npfs
• allow for multiple exports w/anames and specification of root directory
• man pages
• debian packaging
• rpm packaging
• (stretch) authentication support (w/p9p)
• (stretch) integration with idmap solution

IDMAP

• maps local uids/gids/error-codes to strings
• userspace daemon to provide mapping
• hooks in v9fs to use mapping
• (stretch) synthetic file server approach to update mappings
