No errors, but I noticed it stopped just before 200 gigabytes. The total size of the plan9 partition is 1.81 terabytes. A related question: how should I interpret /dev/sdE0/fossil file size? # ls -l /dev/sdE0/fossil --rw-r----- S 0 bootes bootes 199405273600 Sep 5 18:35 /dev/sdE0/fossil Yet: # con -l /srv/fscons prompt: df main: 196,000,014,336 used + 1,800,341,831,680 free = 1,996,341,846,016 (9% used) su# disk/fdisk /dev/sdE0/data cylinder = 8225280 bytes * p1 0 243201 (243201 cylinders, 1.81 TB) PLAN9 Why such mismatch? And could this be related to the write errors?
