Re: [9fans] lock diagnostics on Fossil server
I had a couple of CPU sessions running on it. The most obvious trigger seems to have been exportfs, I eventually turned off the stats report sounds familiar. this patch needs to be applied to the kernel: /n/sources/plan9//sys/src/9/port/chan.c:1012,1018 - chan.c:1012,1020 /* * mh-mount-to == c, so start at mh-mount-next */ + f = nil; rlock(mh-lock); + if(mh-mount) for(f = mh-mount-next; f; f = f-next) if((wq = ewalk(f-to, nil, names+nhave, ntry)) != nil) break; please apply. if the problem persists after the fix, use acid to print the source of the pcs and qpcs of the procs involved and send that offline. - erik
Re: [9fans] import/export -B
The only bit I don't get is why you have to supply a mountpoint to import. Surely import will always be running from listen and as such it will not be in any useful namespace so why mount anything? would it make more sense if it instead said root of tree to be mounted? - erik
[9fans] Why not work for a company based on Plan 9?
hi guys, as most on this list know, coraid makes storage devices that use plan 9 as the software platform. we also use it as our primary development environment. we still run a ken file server here. plan 9 is fundamental to our vision. coraid has become a hot silicon valley property and we are about to start another round of hiring developers. i knew it would be a disservice to this mailing list if i didn't make an announcement here. developers, qa, and support folks can work either in redwood city, ca or athens, ga. there are the usual up and coming silicon valley startup stock options. and in athens, you don't have to pay those silicon valley prices for housing and beer. athens is very affordable on both these counts, especially the beer as anyone who attended the 2009 iwp9 will attest. i hope we're creating a place that i would have wanted to work. it's not every place that you can work with plan 9, get paid for it and participate in a high potential start-up. please send resume's to me. brantley

Re: [9fans] Why not work for a company based on Plan 9?
Thank you for answering the question. Let me explain my point of view on the exchange. I worked for a company in Birmingham AL for about 6 years from Seattle. I had Birmingham insurance, Birmingham HR people etc, but I was remote. I thought perhaps it was not clear if one could be a satellite employee for one of those offices or not. I felt that when you basically cut and pasted your response to me, that you were irritated by my question and answering me in a rude way. I was not trying to troll the thread, but now it may appear to be the opposite. I have a lot of respect for what you guys have done with Plan 9 and AOE, and think it's an interesting business, but suddenly I felt that perhaps I wouldn't have a compatible personality with the boss. Anyway, I'd like to reboot the discussion, but it's in the archives now :-). I do wish you, very sincerely, to have continued success with your business.

Let me explain my point of view on the exchange. I worked for a company in Birmingham AL for about 6 years from Seattle. I had Birmingham insurance, Birmingham HR people etc, but I was remote. I thought perhaps it was not clear if one could be a satellite employee for one of those offices or not. I felt that when you basically cut and pasted your response to me, that you were irritated by my question and answering me in a rude way. I was not trying to troll the thread, but now it may appear to be the opposite. I have a lot of respect for what you guys have done with Plan 9 and AOE, and think it's an interesting business, but suddenly I felt that perhaps I wouldn't have a compatible personality with the boss. Anyway, I'd like to reboot the discussion, but it's in the archives now :-). I do wish you, very sincerely, to have continued success with your business.

Re: [9fans] lock diagnostics on Fossil server
hm... wouldnt it just crash if mh-mount is nil? -- cinap ---BeginMessage--- I had a couple of CPU sessions running on it. The most obvious trigger seems to have been exportfs, I eventually turned off the stats report sounds familiar. this patch needs to be applied to the kernel: /n/sources/plan9//sys/src/9/port/chan.c:1012,1018 - chan.c:1012,1020 /* * mh-mount-to == c, so start at mh-mount-next */ + f = nil; rlock(mh-lock); + if(mh-mount) for(f = mh-mount-next; f; f = f-next) if((wq = ewalk(f-to, nil, names+nhave, ntry)) != nil) break; please apply. if the problem persists after the fix, use acid to print the source of the pcs and qpcs of the procs involved and send that offline. - erik ---End Message---
