I believe that the bug that people have been having with vac and venti in p9p (create bsize 8192 psize 8160vac: vacfscreate: vacfileroot: read too small: asked for 0 need at least 389) can be fixed by this change:
(in plan9port/src/libventi/fcall.c:185), change "f->count = (buf[2] << 8) | buf[3];" to "f->count = (buf[0] << 8) | buf[1];" I checked packet dumps of what vac was sending and what libventi was reconstructing; I have the packet traces saved, if they'd be useful to anyone. As an aside, is Plan 9 slated to get this extended Venti protocol (version 4) too? Is there any reason to support larger blocks? Was there any reason venti limited at 56kb blocks in the past? Also, has anyone ever been able to debug p9p apps with gdb? I try to set breakpoints, but the apps just blow right through them, I'm not sure why... if not, is there any other answer for debugging p9p apps? Take care, -- vs
