It seems that 9vx has become a lot more stable than before. The last
time I used it to write anything in C was like 8 months ago, and the
instability issues I had in mind are dated from back then. So I'll
give it another try and perhaps it will become my main plan 9
platform.

I have to take a look at it later then.

Just going by performance and portability, 9vx is a way better way to
go than lguest.

So, are you more interested in 9vx than lguest? Or have I misinterpreted what
you
I build 9vx from source and routinely have it running for days, until
I need an ubongo reboot in fact. Don't know how to figure out what's
different but I do know that gcc/glibc/distros in linux universe are
so variable, literally week to week, that the build environment is
very unstable. That migh

i'm sorry. totally wrong. i thought i remembered and i
didn't. it was a different problem entirely.
i found i had to make loads of changes like the following

depends how many machines you have.

i find development to go very fast on plan 9.
now that /dev/reboot $kern is working for me, i
can restart the kernel in
9vx crashes on me quite often, and qemu doesn't. That's the only
reason I use qemu, otherwise I'd also be stuck with 9vx too :-)
Are you running the latest from sources, or are you using
the prebuilt binary? There are important stability fixes
in the sources that aren't in the binary (unless it

Unless there's some compelling reason to use qemu (I can't think of
one) why not just use 9vx exclusively? I've made a transition over the
years:
qemu
xen
kvm
lguest
9vx
And am stuck at 9vx ...

Since it looks like you have the option, I would not suggest to use a
qemu image as your terminal. Instead, make 9vx or drawterm your
terminal and you will have access to your host file system for free
