Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem with the latest iso (sept. 26).
The issue is probably with venti. Here's the description:
After a fossil+venti installation, I boot up my terminal, and a venti archive
snapshot is taken at once. (normal behaviour)
The unusual thing is that when it stops, the machine freezes. Though stats
works fine, so I can see my cpu utilisation go down to minimal, i can't fshalt,
or do anything.
Then, if I reboot my machine, the same thing happens: (probably) venti starts
to archive (high CPU and hdd utilisation), then, if I let it finish, again, rio
(or something) freezes, I can't fshalt, I can't run any command.
some people on irc reported the same problem. I can reproduce it on qemu
with a normal install.
venti hangs on "sync..." after the 2nd boot.

but here is no solution yet. :-(
Many thanks to everyone contributing, plan9 is truly a beautiful os.
