[9fans] cpu from one CPU server to another CPU server

2015-11-04 Thread Burton Samograd
Hi,

When I log into my first CPU server using drawterm, I try to cpu to my second 
CPU server and the first one in drawterm just hangs after entering the 
username/password.  After I run the cpu command, all subsequent windows in 
drawterm that I create with rio are blank like the whole system is hung.  I 
then have to kill my drawterm and reconnect after which everything is ok.

If I boot up a terminal with a local fossil I can successfully cpu into the 
other CPU server.

Any ideas on what is going on?

Re: [9fans] Multi-dimensional filesystem

2012-08-16 Thread Burton Samograd
 It pretty much has to.  Consider what happens when you do something like

 % x=`{pwd}
 % bind /sys/src tmp
 % cd tmp
 % cd ..

 This gets you back to $x.  If you leave .. upto the fileserver, you'd get 
 back to /sys not $x. The server can't know the right context.

I thought this problem was solved in plan9:

[9fans] Changing ownership of files or chown is missing

2012-05-20 Thread Burton Samograd
I had hg complaining about the owner of the system wide hgrc on 9front so
I did what I thought was most obvious and tried a chown of the file.  No chown.
So I did a google and found that plan9 doesn't have chown or anything like chown
because that concept doesn't exist on plan9.  This seems a bit funny
since an ls -l
shows me file owners and groups.  I got around not having chown by copying the
file and then moving it over the original file.

Could somebody explain to me why there is no concept of chown on plan9 and what
is the plan9 way around changing the owners and groups of files?  Thanks.

Re: [9fans] Thinkpad T61 Installation Experience

2012-05-17 Thread Burton Samograd
I think I'll have to stick with 9front.  I tried the official dist CD
and 9atom last night and both managed to install this time but
rebooting either of them would give a no bootfile error and a ''
prompt that would take no input.  9front is the only dist that works
reliably enough to install a boot on this machine.

I have a question about the 9front/cwfs64x default partition layout,
which I picked because I'm a noob with this.  On my 80G did, it
suggested a ~10G other, ~10G fscache, and a ~50G fsworm parition.
After rebooting it looks like other is where my user directory is.  So
with this layout of the fs, does that mean I have 10G of user data
space, 10G for my 'root' file system and the other 50G is for the
wayback machine feature of the fs?  If so that seems pretty excessive,
but then again I don't think I'll be watching many movies on my p9
system so I think it will take me a while to fill up the 10G
allocated.

Could anybody explain the csfw64x default partitioning scheme on
9front a bit for me?  Thanks.

  Please read cwfs(4) man page.  In there is a description of the different
 partitions and their uses.  In particular you don't want fscache to fill up
 as it causes the front to fall off.
 It sounds also like you may need to read up on cache/worm filesystems in
 general.  in your case 10G is not all you've got available for 'root', just
 what you've got available for new writes between dumps to worm.

Ok, I'll give it a read; I still have quite a bit to learn.  Thanks

no. your user data is not in other filesystem. basicly there are 3 
filesystems that cwfs exports after 9front installation.
main, dump and other. main is the primary file system that gets 
archived to the worm in daily intervals. the archival snapshots (dump) appear 
as directories in the read only dump
filesystem. main is your root filesystem.

once stuff is written to the worm, it never gets deleted. you can't discard 
dumps. they are there. forever.

the other filesystem is like a traditional unix filesystem.
its not dumped to worm and can be used kind of like scratch space.
we use it for the users /tmp directories.

you can do without a other fs. we added support for +t flags like there is in 
fossil, so you can just mark directories and files as temporary in the main 
filesystem so they dont get dumped to worm. (this works recursively on 
directories)

but requires a bigger fscache partition if you have lots of stuff flagged 
temporary. and you loose all your +t flagged data when recovering the 
filesystem from the last archival snapshot (dump).

[9fans] Thinkpad T61 Installation Experience

2012-05-16 Thread Burton Samograd
I got my Thinkpad T61 last night and installation was somewhat
successful but not without problems:

- the main thing was to set the SATA controller to 'Compatibility'
mode.  9front would find the disk
  and install correctly but would get stuck after the pbs if this was
not set.  The bell labs iso would
  boot but not find the disk leading to some confusion when I didn't
notice it was trying to partition
  the install CD during installation

- after setting to Compatibility mode the Bell Labs iso install would
go along well until it was trying
  to copydist which then was either completely failing or going
incredibly slow; I waited at least 15
  minutes during this process and it was at around 3% before I gave
up.  The cd would spin up and
  down but it really didn't seem to be copying anything at all or at
least nothing very quickly.

- the middle mouse button doesn't work when using ps2intellimouse or ps2

- graphics works great at native 1280x800x16 resolution

- wired networking works good

So, in the end I got 9front installed but now the bell labs wiki isn't
very helpful since so much has
changed, with the first being how to add a new user among other
things.  To be honest, I'd rather
be using the Bell Labs iso so if anybody could give a suggestion on
how to get that working I'd
appreciate it.

Re: [9fans] 'no fat' - boot failure

2012-05-14 Thread Burton Samograd
 so looks like jammed interrupt problem?

It was an MP problem.  I had commented out *nomp=1 in my plan9.ini
and after I tried to boot again and saw a number of errors with
mpintreenable and intreenable I put it back in and it booted correctly.
So no MP for this machine for now.

Of course I screwed up the secstore part of the boot sequence by giving
a non-existant (yet) username so I'll have to figure out how to invalidate
the nvram again or reinstall.

 Can you try getting rid of *nomp=1 and setting *msi=1


I tried removing *nomp and adding *msi and got similar errors,
but with ioapicenable and mpreenable.  The disks got recognized
a lot faster this time, which was better, but my keyboard didn't work :-/
I can't really capture the full output as a lot of it scrolls off the screen
 but I can write a more detailed description if anybody is interested.

[9fans] Shiva/Guru Plug Support

2012-05-13 Thread Burton Samograd
Hello,

I found the annoucement for Shiva plug support
(http://marc.info/?l=9fansm=125849399830547w=2) and I was wondering
what progress has been made with the port.  I looked in /sys/src/9/kw
and it looks like there has been more recent development, but could
someone give me a quick summary of what has been accomplished.

Also, would this port work on the GuruPlug Server
(http://marc.info/?l=9fansm=125849399830547w=2)?  I looks like it
has almost the exact same hardware as the Shiva.

I'd just like to know the port status before I purchase one for use
with Plan9. Thanks.

[9fans] 'no fat' - boot failure

2012-05-13 Thread Burton Samograd
Hello

I just installed 9front onto the second partition of my main SSD drive
and when I boot
using grub with 'chainloader +1' I get a PBS check which looks to pass
and then the
message 'no fat'.  I am thinking that my installation might be out of
sector range on the
drive; I installed on the second primary partition after a 50ish gig
first parition.  Does that
sound like it's my problem?  If not, any other ideas?

Here's what's in my grub.cfg which I got from another posting on 9fans:


menuentry Plan9 (9front) {
insmod chain
insmod fat16
set root=(hd0,msdos2)
chainloader +1
}

I got the (hd0,msdos2) from using the grub command line completion.
I've never seen that
format before so I'm thinking it's new, but then again I haven't
played with grub for a while.

Re: [9fans] 'no fat' - boot failure

2012-05-13 Thread Burton Samograd
 9bootfat does its search by walking all partition table
 entries (primary and secondary) on the bootdrive that
 are marked as active.

Reading the grub docs, it sounds like an active partition is marked
bootable and only one partition can be marked that way.  Currently my
linux partition is marked bootable but I'm not sure if it needs to be
since grub is installed in the MBR.  Any thoughts?  I might just try to
set my plan9 partition bootable and see what happens; I'm sure i can fix
things if I can't boot later.

Re: [9fans] 'no fat' - boot failure

2012-05-13 Thread Burton Samograd
Toggling the bootable flag on the plan9 partition did allow it to start booting.
It then looked to be iterating over the drives, where on my harddisks I got:

sdE0 disk name/id
bad disk
bad disk
bad disk
bad disk
bad disk
sdE5 disk name/id
bad disk
bad disk
bad disk
bad disk
bad disk

This happened for both of my SATA hard drives, the DVD got through
this stage fine.
It appeared to be reading the disks completely; my SSD took about a
minute to get
before it went to the next drive which was 2T and I didn't  bother
waiting around longer
than 5 minutes to see if it would complete.

I've had nothing but problems with this hardware anyways so I'm not
surprised that plan9 has a
hard time working on it.  I might try it on this hardware again, but
I've got another system coming
soon anyways that I'm pretty sure will work just fine.

I tried 9front because the standard distro had a problem with my
disks, or at least finding the
boot partition/floppy on the cd.  9front would boot fine as a
live/install cd so I thought I was in
the clear but unfortunately not.

 i'm not sure of the lineage of the 9front driver, or what hardware you're 
 using.
 this sort of sounds like a hardware funny (which may be already fixed) or
 puis (power-up in standby).  the output of the pci command, or lspci
 on linux would be helpful.  if you could also get the output of cat 
 /dev/sdE5/ctl
 that would be good as well.

[9fans] IL depreciated

2012-05-11 Thread Burton Samograd
From the IL Wikipedia page:

As of the Fourth Edition of Plan 9, 2003, IL is deprecated in favor of 
TCP/IP because it doesn't handle long-distance connections well.

Does anybody still use IL?  It sounds like an interesting protocol and I'm 
wondering if anybody has or is still using it for either local network or 
internet usage.  And, given It's depreciation status, is it still available for 
use if one does want to use it?

I am wondering what is happening when I hold down the Alt/Meta key
when I press characters.  If I hit Alt-B+B I get something that looks

recognize Alt key combinations?  I'm thinking this is part of the

I'm trying to modify rio to handle for Alt-F (forward-word) and Alt-B

Thinkpad T23 is the canonical Plan 9 laptop. Everything I've tried on it works:

with actually works.

Thinkpad T42 is likewise well supported. The wifi card(s) it shipped with did

Another option for wifi is PCMCIA, which has the benefit of being available on 
almost all laptops. However, I've not had great luck.
The WaveLAN PC24E-H-FC works, but exhibits abysmal performance.
Other WaveLAN PCMCIA cards I've tried have not worked at all. I'm not certain 
if this owes to incompatibility or faulty hardware.
It's also possible that support for the specific PCMCIA controllers in my 
various laptops is buggy.

Re: [9fans] I will buy laptop pre-installed with plan9!!!

 I have an X61T...

Do you mean an X61s?  I see no reference to the X61T on the ThinkWiki.

 A Thinkpad X60 or X61 works great and is very light, too.

I have an X61T that works great with 9front. The T61 is also a good choice 
(almost identical hardware to the X61T, but with no tablet and a 14 1280x800 
screen). Some caveats:

- There are no known working Mini PCI Express wifi cards
- apm is not functional

Hardware stats on the T61:
