Hello,
I'm wondering if there is any way to do server push using the 9P
protocol. I'm trying to imagine use of 9P for applications such as data
acquisition. One example might be caputing MIDI messages from digital
musical instruments.
As I understand the protocol, if an instrument served MIDI o

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on growing and/or shrinking
arena files (i.e., disk partitions). With the growing popularity of
logical volume management, vitrualization, etc., resizing partitions is
becoming more and more common, and many file systems already have
"resize" too
reported to have
an incorrect sum... but that's all it says.
Is there a way to look into an arena a little deeper, to find the
offending data? I'd like to debug this, and try to find the cause of
this corruption, in order to avoid it in the future.

Ooh! No intent to offend. I actually haven't even looked at the kernel
code, yet. I was referring to the bi

Quite sure. :) That's why I ended up recovering the data from Linux.

My system/file system locks up periodically, and (as I recently
discovered) I don't even appear to have dumps/snapshots enabled. If the

I'm running the stock 386 distribution, on a real hard drive on real
hardware. I figured learning a new OS would be simpler without having

I was able to recover the file from Linux:

I then used netcat on the Linux end and got the data bac
I'm REALLY hoping someone can help me with this...
For some reason, mk decided it would be fun to run the following command
for me:

Of course, this overwrote important.h, a file containing C macros I

You might take a look at the Beagle Boards. They're OMAP-based and

on pretty much anything you like.

Is that to say that readline turns echo off when typing?
If, for example, the emacs keybindings are set, there may be another way

One other thing that's presently driving me batty is the line wrapping
