- This paper describes the structure
- and the operation of Plan 9 file servers.
- The specifics apply to
- our main Plan 9 file server
- Emelie,
- but
- the code is also the basis for
- the user level file server

- Introduction
- .PP
- The Plan 9 file server
- Emelie
- is the oldest piece of system software
- still in use on Plan 9.
- It evolved from a user-level program that served
- serial lines on a Sequent multi-processor.
- The current implementation is neither clean nor
- portable,
- but it has slowly come to terms with
- its particular set of cranky computers
- and devices.
