9VXD1297882327Achrissi#9vx is essentially a port of the Plan 9 kernel to the [vx32 |#http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~baford/vm/] user-mode virtualization#environment. A special kernel device (#Z) provides access to the#local file system, similar to Inferno's #U.##9vx was originally written by [rsc | Russ Cox]. A version of it is#included in the vx32 distribution. Users can run that version#against a full Plan 9 tree to get a very good emulation of Plan 9.##Note that since the entire system runs as the invoking user, some#things aren't quite right. For example, all file access is done as#the invoking user, not the Plan 9 user. Networking is also provided#by a stripped-down IP stack that passes through to the host OS's IP#stack, but only tcp and udp.##There are extensions to 9vx to provide it a raw ethernet device#(which it may then run a real Plan 9 IP stack above) and allow#direct access to raw disk devices, which allow it to use a real#fossil (and optionally venti) partition, instead of #Z. Search#9fans; Brian Stuart did the later; dho and/or quanstro did the#networking.

See the#patches for their details.## *	[yiyus's 9vx | https://bitbucket.org/yiyus/vx32]# *	[rminnich's 9vx | https://bitbucket.org/rminnich/vx32]#
