OK ! I can ls, diff, and view archived files. The hist(1) cmd looks for /n/dump/duke root. Correct ? Mounting milagro-dump onto duke's /dump/duke instead of /dump, hist(1) displays only the first line and not the whole story as Plan9's history(1) do on the same file. Why ?
hist(1) is intended for use with vbackup and vnfs, not with the real Plan 9 dump file system. the convention there is to mount on /dump and have backups for a particular system be /dump/sysname/. if you want exactly the Plan 9 history command, the best thing to do is copy history.c from a Plan 9 machine and compile it. russ
