Hello,

I'm a lawyer. I love Plan 9. I use Plan 9 by first preference
whenever I understand Plan 9 enough to use it for the task at hand.
That's not often, but it's getting very slowly better. I do
prepare almost all of my le
i never had any trouble with jfs/lvm on aix. i'd recommend that combination
on linux, too. i actually use reiserfs/lvm on linux. i think the chief
advantage is being
able to avoid all but basic partitioning. fdisk is not your friend. do not
trust
it with your data. ☺

PS: no jokes in this mail.
The article was meant as a brief exposure of Plan 9 for people who may
have had little to no exposure to "alternative" operating systems and
as such its point was not to delve deeply into issues. The intent was
more to open a door to concepts that people without a computer science
degree might not

Many of the Plan 9 web links are dead. The links to LLNL are dead and
it's my impression that LLNL is no longer involved in Plan 9 efforts.
Mail to some of the more visible Plan 9 proponents at LLNL went
un-answered or bounced.
Surely you mean LANL instead of LLNL, right? Whom did you email?

and adds a link to a screenshot called sdl.png. I see there are some SDL

yes. the closeprocs only come out when you run slay.
their job is to close the file descriptors that the slain
processes left behind. you have to do it in a different proc
to avoid deadlocks in the general cas
that makes sense.
do things happen differently if the process is not slain
but dies a natural death?

Your processes died a quick and painless death.
The closeproc helpers, called upon to clean up after
the battle, leave at a rate of one per five seconds.
I was trying to avoid repeatedly creating and deleting
processes if someone is killing procs frequently.
In that case, the right number of close
