Hi, OK, thanks for the clue.
Unfortunately, this (devfs-posix.c in 9vx): if(perm & ~(DMDIR|0777)) error(Ebadarg); generates the error, and the values of DMEXCL and DMAPPEND do not seem to fit into Unix permissions. So these won't work in 9vx as long as the host filesystem is used*. ------------------------------------------------ * Unless the host FS is ext?fs and the kernel supports extended attributes which may require specific patches On Dec 22, 4:50Â am, fors...@terzarima.net (Charles Forsyth) wrote: > no, it won't: OEXCL, perhaps, but not DMEXCL. > i'd have thought it should be used in fscreate, though, > to help chan.c implement OEXCL correctly. fscreate should > fail if the file exists, but perhaps that happens another way.
