Hello everyone. I have two PCs, one of which installs Plan 9 system
functioning as a backup server by Venti; the other one installs Debian
6, using qemu to run a virtual Plan 9 fossil+cpu/auth server (because
Plan 9 can't recognize hard disk for this machine). Both the backup
and virtual servers run well lasting for a week. Today a power cut
occurs, I turn on the back server first in turn the virtual server.
The back server runs as usual, but the virtual server corrupts (the
Debian host and qemu are normal). So I boot the virtual server from a
Plan 9 CD, typing some commands in order to restore the last archive
of the system. The commands are:
term% fossil/last /dev/sdC0/fossil
vac:da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
term% ip/ipconfig -g 192.168.1.1 ether /net/ether0 192.168.1.233
255.255.255.0
term% ndb/dns -r
term% venti=192.168.1.160
term% fossil/flfmt -v da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 /
dev/sdC0/fossil
fs header block already exists; are you sure? [y/n]: y
fatal error: corrupted root: vtRootUnpack
I don't know what's going wrong. So I boot the virtual server from
qemu disk in Debian as normal:
kin@debian: ~$ sudo qemu -hda plan9.qcow2.img -net
nic,model=rtl8139 -net \
> tap,ifname=tap0,script=qemu-ifup
but the virtual server still prompts errors at boot time. The error
messages are:
