nmount allows use of different 9p clients in the kernel.

This is great! What is dc short for? At some point it's devno IIUC, device number I suppose?

rminnich commented 2 years ago

dc has meaning internally in Plan 9, basically means, IIRC, 'device character' jmk is no longer around to ask and I don't totally trust anyone's memory since someone told me the totally wrong meaning of the use of the word 'rock' in the kernel :-)

struct Dev { int dc; char* name;

“Device Character”

This also shows up in inferno docs; although sometimes called “device letter”.

rminnich commented 2 years ago

fixed the nmount names. Keep those reviews coming, they're all good.

If this works I'l probably bring ipfs back in from Harvey.
