I've made a few tweaks to the paravirtualised plan 9 kernel in
/n/sources/xen/xen3 to make it compatible with the xen environment
used in amazon's "elastic compute cloud". There's an example public
AMI (in zone eu-west-1) named ami-03c9f377 which can be used to
instantiate a cpu server with fossil

Thank you! very nice.
Are there any hoops to jump through to import a VM? When I last
checked, it didn't seem possible to load a non-sanctioned OS image.

No, it's simple now - the AMI uses pv-grub (paravirtualised grub) as
the "kernel", which then loads the real kernel from an ext2 partition
on your own virtual dis

By simple I meant you don't have to ask permission, just do it.
Andrey's right, technically it's a bit more challenging. But not much.
Is there a simple recipe to use p9p troff to format the manual pages
from the plan 9 dist? I.e.:
Install Plan 9 Ports
wget plan9.iso from bell labs
mount said iso /some/where
9 rc
cd /some/where/sys/man
# magic stuff here
(Or tar off the dist to re
I'm trying to add a restart feature to my modified rio by calling exec on a
saved argv[0] and copy of argv that has been null terminated, but it crashes
every time. Is there something about exec on plan9 that I should be aware

yesterday. anth_x discovered that test -w on directory always
returns false even tho the directory is writable.
test works by calling access(AWRITE) on the file which tries
a open(OWRITE) on the directory. this always fails because
you can't open directory for writing.

in both cases, the test returning the wrong result won't easily
be noticed. lp just mounts somthing else on
