So far other problems I have experienced with 9p have been common to other non-hdd fs (e.g. nfs, afp, etc) in google reports of problems, so my first guess is that the issue is not 9p-specific, but rather 'net'-fs (or at least fses that have similar characteristics to net fses in terms of locking and other implementation details) In any event I've ditched /var on 9p for other reasons (decided I would rather not have excessively host-accessible /var for vm /var, depite the space advantage to having a shared partition for all /var from vms (but under separate directories). In the end I decided to commit a reasonable amount to each vm rather than commit less each, but more space if any one needed it (but not all). Regards, Daniel -- <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
