Hi all,
this is probably trivial; this is what I get when trying to start 9vx:
Warning! factotum can't protect itself from debugging: '#p/5' file does not
exist
init: warning: can't open #p/2/ctl: '#p/2' file does not exist
init: starting /bin/rc
FAILED
Warning! auth/factotum can't protect its
I've seen this behavior before, once using 9vx on a remote xsession
and once when using strace on a (broken) 9vx that was compiled for
32bit on a 64bit linux. Are there any mitigating factors that could be
causing your problem?

However, it is a 64 bits linux and I haven't done anything special or
set any flag when building (cd src; make; make install). Should I?

ron's 9vx and mine are compiled differently in 64bits systems, so you
can try mine and see if there is any difference, but I don't really
know. I don't have any x86_64 system I can use to test 9vx, so please
let me know if things get better (or worse). If you don't want to

Good call; yours starts without a problem, thanks.

Hello,
Back in 2009, someone on this list posted about encrypting /usr on a
Plan 9 laptop they had. Does anyone know how to encrypt a file system
on Plan 9? (I'm talking about encrypting the storage on disk, not just
the network connection to it.)
My intuition would be to look for a "crypt" com
There's two implementations that i know of: one is in russ' contrib, and
there another one called cbfs (i think), which is also on contrib, although
i don't remember where. The latter version could be russ' implementation
with changes, it's been a while since I tried either. Russ' didn't compile

I've got a rejected-by-usenix paper somewhere about writing a 9p
encryption fs which you could stack on anything that served 9p:
exportfs, fossil, tarfs, whatever. It essentially attached to a 9p
server, you set the key, it encrypted/decrypted the data as it wrote
to its server.

this last error keeps on repeating.
as a plan 9 tree I'm using the same old one that I kept using with rsc's
9vx (minimal tree provided by rsc, and later filled with more plan 9
stuff), could that be the issue? if yes, what do you guys for a tree
with ron's 9vx?
This one is extremely weird.

Well, since Ron's tree is based on Yiyus', and Ron's doesn't have that
patch, I think that means Yiyus' doesn't have it either. And yet,
Yiyus' works for me, so I doubt this bug was the culprit for me. More
like a 64 bits issue as Yiyus mentionned earlier, no?

there is nothing to limit the length of a string to 64k bytes
in fact, even 64k might be too big a value for the given buf if it's near the
top of memory (eg, a local variable on a stack that's in high memory);
the PowerPC reference in the original comment is misleading because that
was just a particular system where the general problem appeared.

your problem is that you have a line that exceeds diff's line-length limits
of 4096 characters:
6: !cat /mail/fs/mbox/323/3/body.txt|awk 'length($0)>4096 {print NR " "
length($0)}'
33 4122

My bet here is that if you build yiyus or ron tree and force 32-bit,
it will fail on a 64-bit system, no idea why. if you build with 64-bit
on yiyus tree, it will work.
In other words, I think the issue crops up on 32-bit 9vx on 64-bit
environments. At least that is how it seems to work.

Sorry, I was too terse. I'm using plan9port. (9 man 1 patch) == nothing.
Is this the wrong list for plan9p

that's fine, but the sprint is the one from the c library
which needs to support more than that. t

I'm glad you asked that question :-)
I ran out of time to track it down. It's got something to do with how
the address space is set up in 32-bit 9vx
