see that option mentioned in the plan9.ini man.
echo dma on /dev/sdXY/ctl

I've been running into mention of kfs throughout various rc scripts
and
whatnot; is kfs simply the default file system
Fossil is user-mode, while kfs
is a kernel file system.
This isn't the best way to say what I was trying to say,
and may be misleading. Both are user programs; kfs
is found at /$objtype/bin/disk/kfs.

Excellent - thanks.

As a further question on that point, where would you say would be the
best place to persist that command?
As far as I'm aware, my likely choices would be one of (in order of
execution):
/rc/bin/termrc
/rc/bin/termrc.local
/cfg/$sysname/termrc
I generally avoid touching termrc, put
/rc/bin/termrc
/rc/bin/termrc.local
/cfg/$sysname/termrc
... but which would be considered the most logical place to deal with
things such as setting hd parameters for the machine on bootup like
the 'echo dma on /dev/sdC0/ctl' example above?

affects interfaces using ide or ide emulation. you

Very odd. There are no blocking operations in reading the status file in /proc.
The only thing I can think of is that you have something bound (snapfs?) in
/proc
and that you're hanging on a stale mount point.
Is the clock set properly on that machine?

I already rebooted the machine so I can't check this anymore on a live system,

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that, in an emulated environment, I'd pick kfs over
Venti, most of the time, unless your goal is to learn about Venti and Fossil
Why specifically in an emulated environment?

This passage seems to me to speak to the minimal spirit in Plan 9.
... the best choice of software is often no software -- and barring that,
as little software as you can possibly get away with, and even then, only
from the most reputable and reliable sources.

Which brings me to repeat a question about Plan9, from another thread: if
there is no real browser for the platform, how will Plan 9 participate in
the cloud computing (r)evolution? I suppose it would be enough to have a
Chromium port, if Chrome and the Chrome OS gain traction.
clouds
let´s rewrite everything in Ada.
We can use the distributed systems annex in a cloud.

does this mean we should expect an influx of viewers due to the

Hi,
I noticed that p9p has threadpin() and threadunpin() in its thread
