Hi,
Between 11 and 12 June, there has been a change to /rc/bin/diskparts
to detect plan9 partitions on disks without a mbr. This change seems
to cause a problem with disks that do not have a plan9 partition at
all though: after running diskparts, one of my harddisks (the one
without a plan9 partit
Hi,
When I open a window in rio, run 9fat:, and then exit, the window gets
'stuck'. That is, it just sits there, I can't type anything in it
anymore.
Apparently, it is waiting for dossrv to exit (which gets started by
9fat:): when I open a second window, and run 'kill dossrv | rc', the
first windo

Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my initial mail, but it also
happens when I unmount /n/9fat (and /n/9) before trying to exit.

I noticed, after a pull, that the corresponding binaries haven't been
updated. Just thought I'd mention it, in case they were

Hi 9fans,
Does anyone know what the meaning/origin of "//GO.SYSIN DD" in
bundle(1) is? I've seen this on other unix-likes as well, but I
thought I'd ask here since the awareness of historical context seems
to be quite a bit above average on this list.
Thanks, Sander.
Charles, Rob, Greg,
Thanks for the context.
Greetings, Sander.

Hi,
After pulling today, /386/bin/topng is broken. It's much smaller than
it used to be, and it generates empty files, whereas the topng from
20080821 doesn't. "cmp /386/bin/topng
/n/sourcesdump/2008/0821/plan9/386/bin/topng" tells me that they are
the same until EOF on /386/bin/topng, so it seems
