rather a worked-up response for a simple question. for the record, i think many people on this list are interested in fixing things. if this is a pet project of yours, why don't you work on fixing it? unfortunately, i don't have very much spare time right now. there are drivers to write. i have also noticed that replica/applylog has a problem. when i started experimenting with copying history from our old fileserver to the new one, i started using replica/updatedb and replica/applylog. updatedb worked very well, but applylog hung for me pretty consistantly. my thought was that applylog has a threading deadlock, but i didn't spent much time thinking about it. one thing that does help quite a bit is to use replica/compactdb on your local database. that is in /dist/replica/plan9.db. - erik
