I'm trying to partition a usb thumb drive in plan9:
% disk/fdisk -baw /dev/sdU4.0/data
adding part failed: plan9: permission denied
?warning: partitions could not be updated in devsd
I get similar issues when trying to use prep. If I rerun
fdisk or prep it seems to read the previously configured
data back, and other systems (ie. winxp) see the partitions
I edited in plan9, but my /dev/sdU4.0 directory does not
get "plan9" or other partition files (just ctl, data, raw).
What gives?
it occurred to me that I am using a slightly old dist and
usb has churned a bit, so I did a pull, then rebuilt my kernel,
installed it and rebooted using it.. and now it seems worse
- when I plug in device it no longer prints "usb/disk..."
or whatever it used to print
- when I mount /srv/usb I only see usbctl, no sd*
this is in vmware, so its possible vmware is acting up (it happens
at times)... is anyone else using thumb drives with current
plan9 sources successfully?
