So, I found the files I lost in an older dump. Is there any way I can load them from the dump into the cache without having to copy them back? I know bind is an option, but something more permanent would be better in this case. ak

I'll use this thread to post further questions about cwfs. I recently had a problem accessing a directory in a drive managed by cwfs - whenever I tried to access the dir, I got the error: ...: phase error -- cannot happen so I went over to the cwfs console and played around with `clean': fs: clea

[9fans] Kernel compile in Linuxemu

Since I can't compile anything - let alone a kernel - in my Acer Aspire One, I decided to try compiling one under Linuxemu, with the hopes that I could then copy the resulting kernel modules back to the Acer and make use of them here. However, 'make' under Linuxemu fails as such: r...@sounine:/us

That qed was done in the 1970s by Tom Duff, Hugh Redelmeier, David Tilbrook and myself. The regular expressions are from ed, plus simple forms of parentheses, alternation, and backreferences and a couple of minor tweaks that later appeared in vi. It's essentially ed with some original qed feature

I have a file dated October 30 1987 which is the source for a qed clone written at U of Toronto. A quick glance at the man page seems to indicate that it doesn't have recursive regular expressions. I'm not sure who I got it from - possibly Henry Spencer. Anyone know anymore about it? I can put

Hi, I think I've found a bug in p9p's Venti, if anyone were to take a look at this code or tell me if I'm on the right track, it'd be pretty neat. When trying to start Venti on a FreeBSD 8-BETA2 system and a ZFS filesystem, we got this error: 2009/0822 23:12:30 venti: conf... 2009/0822 23:12:30 e

not directly. on my server running cwfs, i have this in /cfg//cpustart: srv -e 'cwfs -ca tcp!*!54321 -m /sys/lib/arkive/devmap w4' arkivecons which creates /srv/arkivecons. i can then 'con /srv/arkivecons' to get at the console in more or less the same way as fscons.

[9fans] Using cwfs

2009-08-23 Thread Akshat Kumar
I'm using cwfs(4) for my external harddisks attached to my CPU server. Is there any service like /srv/fscons, to which I can connect with con(1) and get the same console as with running cwfs normally? And along the same lines, a way to "daemonize" cwfs? Then I wouldn't always have to have a separa
