P.S. The kernel is monolithic. Although, IIRC, there were attempts to make it a hybrid. this is far from the full story. because of the mount driver, many things may be in the kernel or userland according to what makes sense. for example, the ip stack has moved back and forth several times.

I thought that replica/pull on a 9atom would pull 9atom binaries and not the labs version. Looks like that assumption is wrong? only on .iso versions of 9atom several years old. to correct this issue, you'd have to sync /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull first. - erik

What two databases? the divergent versions of /sys/lib/dist/replica/plan9.db and its log on the sources and 9atom. Replica respects local changes at the file level. You still have to do a manual merge if the server version changed as well. that's what i said, but this is remove vs remote,

theres a kernel file cache for cached mounts (see the -C option), tho its broken in labs plan9. pages of executables are cached. the disk fileservers implement a buffer cache to avoid going to disk and do lazy writing out dirty filesystem blocks. plan9 is a distributed system. the disk
