I take the opportunity to ask if anyone on the list can give me some
good pointer to set up 9p filesystem in windows. 
I am looking for a smart and convenient way to share folder between my
Arch Linux host and the w7 guest.
I tried with no success with ninefs to mount 9p filesystem on w7. Is
there any other trivial solution?
