I don't seem to have θfs, which is weird (the Raspberry Pi distribution is 9atom, isn't it?.) At least, its source is not in sys/src/cmd. I pulled changes 3 or 4 days ago. On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 6:58 PM, erik quanstrom wrote: > On Sat Mar 8 12:55:25 EST 2014, ru...@mostlymaths.net wrote: > > >

The thing is, I don't want access to HFS+ from my Plan9 host. I want my Plan9 host to serve a HFS+ drive. Access is required, but it's not the end goal. On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 4:16 PM, Jeff Sickel wrote: > I agree with Gorka, this would be a good GSoC project. > > But there are other ways to mo

I agree with Gorka, this would be a good GSoC project. But there are other ways to mount the device. Have you tried u9fs (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/4/u9fs)? Or drawterm from a Mac with the drive connected? Or running Inferno hosted on the Mac and exporting the volume? Any of

Sorry to be bothersome again, but still can't figure it out. I need /srv/dos available in /lib/namespace, so I can mount the external drive before anything else is done on the system, but to do so I need to execute dossrv, and in a namespace file I can't execute anything beside bind/mount and relat

Thanks for the quick reply. Where is exactly the proper point to consider it as "started on boot"? I really don't know how the Plan9 boot process follows along (I guess "something" loads /lib/profile which in turn loads /rc/bin/termrc, but I'm not even sure about this ordering), and so far the docu

Thanks all for the prompt replies. I add a few answers: @Sergey: The point is using an existing HFS+ with ~500 GB of data. Moving all the data and reformatting is way beyond the time commitment I wanted to give to this, which was only the moderately convenient remote access. I know how to use disk
