Problem: How to admin and repair Venti+Fossil
Solution: Manage them from an independent namespace
In response to feedback that I should explain how Advanced Namespace
Tools (ANTS) can solve pratical problems, I will explain in terms of
Venti and Fossil administration and maintenance.

Your explanations are ok. My guess is people don't have time
or sufficient motivation to dig deeper and read your papers.

I have actually documented these things in this manner in the ANTS
paper tha
Just a suggestion:
Some motivating examples may help. Perhaps you can show
1. Initial state of the world (show with the help of a few ls)
2. A sequence of commands to change it
3. What the world looks like finally
And a brief description why this would be desirable. And how

You are right I was using terminology loosely here. What I mean by
"namespace" in this
Settings that work for me:
It would be tres cool if this information was getting mirrored in the

Hi 9fans. I think I wrote my Advanced Namespace Tools message in an
unclear way. Let me try again.
I have some new software for Plan 9. It is based on manipulating
namespaces. The 9pcram kernel has a new bootup which lets it control
multiple independent namespaces. It is the foundation for a

This BUG is obviously very easy to fix but it hasn't been
Any good r

Atoi, atol, and atoll accept octal and hexadecimal numbers
in the style of C, contrary to the ANSI specification.

The atol() manpage says:
Atoi and atol recognize an optional string of tabs and
spaces, then an optional sign, then a string of decimal dig-
its.
And yet atol(x) acts exactly like strol(x, nil, 0). This makes
it unnecessarily incompatible with the unix version. Ditt

That's card dependent. It needs to support promisc mode AFAIK. Not all cards
support it.

Bell Labs Plan 9 and networking works well in virtualbox 3.1.8 using
Am79C973 virtual ethernet adapter in bridged mode, chipset PIIX3
selected and "Enable IO APIC" turned off.
Hello
I've had difficulty installing the vanilla Plan9 from Bell Labs in
VirtualBox / QEMU, and now I am going to try one of the forks, 9atom
or 9Front, which both seem to have more hardware support / software.
However, the descriptions on their homepages are brief; could
someone please point out

hmm. what kind of description are you expecting?

Hello
I've been trying for about two days to get the stock Plan9 from Bell
Labs to install with Networking under Virtual Box / QEMU, and by now
I have just given up. Maybe I will try again later.
I still want to use Plan9 though, and so I was wondering what the
difference between 9atom and 9Front

There isn't a simple way to grow an existing fossil partition. You could
use the extra space on the SD card for a second fossil partition, or a venti
store. To rebuild the main fossil on the pi, you would need to boot from
a root filesystem coming from somewhere else - a usb flash drive for examp

Anyone succeeded in getting 9vx to take its root from a remote
plan9 file server? There is a mail from RSC from 2009 but he
indicates it is untested, I was just wondering if anyone got it
to work and have a command like they could share?

Hi,
A newbie question here.
I want to fully utilize my 8G SD, while the image provided now is about 2G
only.
Is there a way to customize the size of the image ? Or, even further, is there
a way to extend existing filesystem online ?
Thanks.
