Re: [9fans] qemu usb flash drive (stick)

[faif]

Back after some (actually a long) idle time... :)

FTR: My host system is GNU/Linux and i found out that apart from unmounting the 
usb drive I also need to execute qemu with full privileges to make the device 
available. An example:

>sudo qemu -usb -usbdevice host:0e34:1025 plan9.img

Now... It seems that I have a file permission problem.

usbfat:
/n/sdV0.0

touch /n/sdV0.0/a ... create prohibited

I tried to access the drive both with glenda and the custom user that I added 
some time ago. ls -l says that the /n/sdV0.0 user is bill and the group trog

Tried to log on as adm but rio fails to start (some settings are missing). I 
noticed that there is no user bill and group trog in /adm/users. Is this the 
next step?

dossrv doesnt know about users, bill trog is some
dummy name and probably some inside joke.

the /adm/users file is for fossil/kfs/cwfs and unrelated
to your problem.

usbfat: mounts the device with -c, so creating files
in the root should work on this part.

i'v seen this before and it might be a bug in
dossrv itself on fat32 partitions. it only happend
on the filesystem root directory. run a filesystem
check on the drive with some other operating system.

once followed the exact codepath for that error,
but can't remember.

reformating the drive (with FAT16) fixed the problem.

Possession of "Mein Kampf" is not illegal in Germany. It just cannot be
published at the moment because the respective rights are with the state
of Bavaria until 2016, when the text will enter the public domain.

it appears that you paraphrased the output.  did you type 9fat:
and touch in the same rio window?  that looks like the output
you'd get if there were no mounted disk.

the output of ns(1) would help see what's mounted on /n.
