hi lucio,
so, it tries to interpret as a floating-point no and goes for a toss!
thanks for the quick response.

Note the 5946903e318 which AWK may mistakenly treat as a floating
point constant. Now to figure how to prevent such errors...

hi,
while i was playing with venti archive, i found something interesting.
i used dumpvacroots.new (from contrib) and for some reason, awk bailed
out with floating point error whenever it saw a line with a specific
root score.
here are the two sample lines (i used customized printarena.c which

i think you mean the raw file.

I think /srv/dns serves an actual file system, so there are
potentially many references to it (not just one).

What'd you say if you had my keyboard? It's got a couple of (useful)
Windows keys, a numeric pad, and some "multimedia" keys. Can't complain, to
each their lot ;-)
And for the oldies fun: last week I had to replace an AT type PSU and get

I had to fix several things, but the main problem is that
it's not coherent wrt sources. You might end up with incosistent
files, depending on when lsr runs.
I'm using a variant of lsr, but I'm looking forward to a more
coherent way of doing it.

What was wrong with the old way of doing mirroring with lsr? It worked
quite nicely, and was way more reliable and infinitely faster than
replica.

Kudos to Mr Eckhardt for a very neat solution.

Geoff is working to get a replica/pull set up to mirror /n/sources.
9grid.es stopped mirrorning since this started, and i'm trying from
time to time to use the replica/pull system to mirror sources.
sorry but i can't remember the message on which Geoff talked about this.

Sorry, which new mirror method?
I probably missed that.
We keep a mirror of sources/plan9 and 9grid at sources.lsub.org.

Hello
As soon as the new mirror method mentioned by Geoff becomes the
official way to sync mirrors i will update the 9grid.es mirror and i
will provide the scripts to pull from 9grid.es again

there was a guy around here who worked up
that bios patch for plan 9. (translated, oddly enough,
from the original oberon.) i'll try to hunt it down.
Hello,
I tried to install plan9 on one of my computers and wanted to update
it running 'pull'. However, it doesn't work, perhaps because the home
pages of plan9 at Bell labs don't work. I somehow have a feeling there
are problems with those pages every now and then. Is it so? Why?

Yes, but even if one venti always leaves the store in a consistent
state, running two may still cause them to wite differemt things to
the same place on disk and this is likely to result in havoc.

I think it may have happened to me. Recently I had a "missing score" error

hi,
i noticed something odd with venti and i am just trying to see if this
is an issue and if this needs to be addressed.
i think, by default, plan9 installation sets localhost as the address
for venti in plan9.ini. but at some point i wanted venti to announce
any (*) address. for some reason, i
