[9fans] a little frustrated
On Dennis Ritchie's home page http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/index.html http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/index.html Plan 9 and Inferno * The new, open-source edition of the Plan 9 http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist system is available. I contributed only a few bits and pieces to it, but did, in effect, sign some paychecks to keep it going. * The system-structuring ideas of Plan 9 were adopted also by the Inferno system, now distributed by Vita Nuova http://www.vitanuova.com . Again, this was more a matter of signing paychecks than doing the work, though I did write about it.

Re: [9fans] Listing a directory
I don't think there is a way for you to get a coherent listing no matter what you do. Files may be created and removed all the time, so coherent listing doesn't have much sense. In some cases it may be reasonable to atomically create a copy of the directory listings (some of my file servers do), but I wouldn't like to see it as required for all 9P implementations.

If the directory's contents do not fit in a single read, I imagine I need to loop around TOpen / Tread / / Tread / TOpen, till I get the whole contents and see the same QIDs in each open, to get a coherent listing. (is this accurate?) Unfortunately, a TOpened FID to a directory cannot be used for walking it (why?); so the only use of a TOpened fid to a directory is to list it or to get a QID. Would it be reasonable for a TOpened fid to a directory to create a copy of the directory listing at the time of the RPC? -- vs
