aha, thanks Erik; those definitions indeed differ: from plan9: inquiry HITACHI HTS541616J9SA00 model HITACHI HTS541616J9SA00 serial SB2441GB2441GJJG4K3E firm SB4IC7UP smart disabled flag llba smart power nop reg task 50 cmd c017 serr 0 ci 0 is 0; sig 101 sstatus 0113 geometry 312581808 512 part data 0 312581808 part plan9 63 136760400 part 9fat 63 204863 part nvram 204863 204864 part fossil 204864 135711824 part swap 135711824 136760400 part linux 136760400 138756240 part linux1 138756240 148523760 part linux2 148523823 287189280 part linux3 287189343 291090240 part linux4 291090303 310625280 part linux5 310625343 312575760 from 9vx: loop rw #Z/dev/sda part plan9 63 136760400 part linux 136760400 138756240 part linux1 138756240 148523760 part linux2 148523823 287189280 part linux3 287189343 291090240 part linux4 291090303 310625280 part linux5 310625343 312575760 part 9fat 0 204800 part nvram 204800 204801 part fossil 204801 135711761 part swap 135711761 136760337 The "global" plan9 one (sda1) seem to be the same in both cases, as well as the other sda* ones (linux), but the subpartitions (not sure they're called that way) inside differ. I suppose the correct one is the plan9 one, i.e 9fat should start at the beginning of the plan9 one (at 63), and not at 0, right? Hence the reason why everything has an offset of 63 inside the plan9 part, I guess. So, what should I do? Is it a bug in 9vx, or is it something wrong in my partitions that I have to correct?
