One thing we've discussed, many times over the years, is creating a small
box that would bootstrap a network of Plan 9 systems, i.e. "9 in a box". It
would use coraid ether console (CEC), so no need to find a serial port
adapter.
You would get the box, put it on your network, connect to its conso

OK, I'm on what may be the last problem.
I was having trouble writing a reproducer, until I wrote one by accident,
by fat-fingering %f instead of %d in a print. That caused the problem.
Turns out that I'm still not quite handling the fpu right on the AC, which
will require some more study of what
I think you’re misunderstanding that 10 second wake up process. Dumps are not
taken every 10 seconds, but once a day. See this part of the paper, slightly
above:
The Cwrite and Cdirty blocks are created and never removed. Unless something is
done to convert these blocks, the c-device will gradu
'#' paths aren't namespaceable, so they should be used very rarely in
the system.

I view these driver identifier characters as being roughly the
equivalent of the major device numbers used in UNIX/Linux systems behind
the scenes, commonly accessed via the files under the /dev heirarchy.
I don't think those numbers are really standardized either.

WORM is a great idea, allowing to store only the diff and to be
able to version is a bonus.
But there is one drawback: when one is modifying rapidly a file
(tentatives), it can spoil the worm with useless modifications.
The fossil snapshots were a solution (allowing to "commit" on demand).
