the -AWP switches apply to the srv command, so they're described in fossilcons(8). i only know them because they were used quite often in fossil's early days. –Arun with no authentication –Prun with no permission checking –Wallow wstat to make arbitrary changes to the user and group fields cheers: andrey > I can see you really know your stuff there. > That -AWP switch was definately not intuitively obvious for a newbie. > What does the -AWP switch actually mean? > > Though the man pages seemed to cover the commands pretty well, > I am a bit "in the dark" on the meaning of all the switches.

I wanted to do just the opposite and learn how to mount the HD from the "live" cd. Just part of the learning process. _ -. www.tuol.org .-

Re: [9fans] New user question
You need to add yourself to the group sys. 1) Reboot: fshalt -r 2) Log in as user sys. 3) Type con -l /srv/fscons 4) There, type uname sys +(your user name) For example, if your user name is philo: uname sys +philo 5) Hit ctrl+\ and type q 6) Reboot and log in and try again.

[9fans] New user question
I am still unable to mount my harddrive Plan 9 installation when booted up from the Plan 9 cd. To mount the HD's dos partition all I need to do is: dossrv mount /srv/dos /n/dos /dev/sdC0/dos I can then navigate to /n/dos to read the data on the harddrive. However thus far I have been unable to access the fossil partition where Plan 9 is installed I'd appreciate advice as to what I'd have to do to start a fossil server and then mount it _ -. www.tuol.org .-
