2009-06-29 Thread Brad Frank
What kinds of modifications would be necessary to get plan9 booting on intel macs? The latest releases don't seem to boot, they just hang.

[9fans] Boot option to disable multiprocessor mode?

2008-03-20 Thread Brad Frank
Is it possible to modify the live cd isos to list an option that would allow booting with the *nomp=1 option set? It seems to prevent the ability for me to use vesa modes on my dual core Thinkpad T60, and as a result the coloring looks really screwed up. Dark green background, terminals with black

Anyone else notice the latest builds of plan9 have a delay with keyboard input from the bootloader?

[9fans] Explanation of binding from ftpfs

2008-12-06 Thread Brad Frank
When I use ftpfs to mount a ftp site and then bind /n/ftp to another location. All appears to work fine in /n/ftp and in the other location. When I type ns, I can clearly see the pipe bind for ftpfs mounted to /n/ftp. When I unmount /n/ftp I can type ls on /n/ftp and not see anything there. But if

I forgot to mention when I bind /n/ftp I was really binding /n/ftp/directory to another location. On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 3:44 PM, Brad Frank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I use ftpfs to mount a ftp site and then bind /n/ftp to another > location. All appears to work fine in /n/ft

dir4. So what I guess I was expecting to see from ns when using the ftpfs scenario, was to see not only a pipe bind to /n/ftp. But Also a pipe bind to my other location, since the other location was a bind to /n/ftp. On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 5:17 PM, Brad Frank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

oh yeah, it seems to do a pipe bind to the other location, only when binding to the root. If I bind to /n/ftp/directory, it doesn't show the pipe bind in ns. On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 5:52 PM, Brad Frank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I guess what confuses me when dealing with something

[9fans] Load spikes on intervals in qemu

2010-08-17 Thread Brad Frank
Hi, I recently did a clean install of plan9 on qemu on linux. I've noticed that the load is spiking on an interval every 30 seconds or something like that. I looked at suggestions that it might be venti and timesync. But it couldn't be venti because I didn't install venti, I have a fossil only inst

[9fans] Load spikes on intervals in qemu

2010-08-17 Thread Brad Frank
Yes, doing those things would be an alternative. But the bigger question is why is fossil hitting the load like that while running in Qemu. And also, another question is whether this would be happening on physical hardware as well... Is there anything I can do to figure out why it is doing that, an

[9fans] Load spikes on intervals in qemu

2010-08-18 Thread Brad Frank
Well, it is also important to note that I am getting these spikes on qemu while the emulator is essentially idling. There really should be no reason it should be hitting the virtual disk like that repeatedly on intervals. Is there no other explanation for why it would be doing that?
