I will use pull -n from now on. But it will still not help if one needs to recompile kernel with new syscalls or similar. Erics procedure helps to recover to old state, but i never tried it, it may be that some commands needed new syscall too, i tried to copy to 9fat with same error, maybe it

The safe way to upgrade your file server is simply to update the kernel binaries (for example, with the ones I'm providing) on your 9fat and reboot. Then, you can pull the updated program binaries from /n/sources. There is no need to wait, because you have to be running the new kernel before

i got the impression that sources were in some inconsistent state. if the only change is the new system call, isn't it sufficient to: * pull only /sys/src/9 * build the kernels you need and install on boot medium * reboot * pull again and rebuild all the binaries since existing binaries would

* pull only /sys/src/9 * pull -s sys/src/libc * build the kernels you need and install on boot medium * reboot I recovered by using 9fs snap so I could get an earlier state of /386. 9fs dump triggered the syscall error.

rebuilding/installing the binaries from local sources takes very little time and guarantees that pull will not overwrite them (unless forced). On Sun, May 18, 2014 at 8:38 AM, Jeff Sickel j...@corpus-callosum.comwrote: * pull only /sys/src/9 * pull -s sys/src/libc * build the kernels

Great machine, on 9atom. Which raises another question: are 9atom and 9front in synch with the BL distribution (itself in question) regarding syscall 53? ++L
