Okay, I'll give it a try.
I must first decide on a (quasi)stable dir tree. The problem is that I have
almost 2TB of data,
so should I have another 2TB disk for Venti if I want to put there all?
Thanks,
Peter.

The amazing PATENTED IBM Multi-Pipe!
I wanted to post to let 9fans know about an exciting new software
patent that was just issued by the US patent office. United States
Patent #8,380,765 is for an incredible new Plan 9 related
supercomputing technology called the Multi-pipe. If you want to

Here's the original iosrv/hub announcement:

So what's the real difference between iosrv/hubfs and MULTI-PIPES? Is
anyone here good enough at translating patentese to code to tell what
the technical differences are? The patent even specifically mentions
9P.

Has anyone presented the 9c extension typestr to the C standardization
committee (WG14)?
Looking at the documents at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/,
I see that various vendors have let the committee know about their
extensions, both to offer directions for future standardization and to

isn't the pointer conversion most of the point of them?
i'm sure i'm missing something obvious here, but exec has something
like this
up-seg[ESEG] = newseg(SG_STACK, TSTKTOP-USTKSIZE, TSTKTOP/BY2PG);
(some versions may not have /BY2PG, but that's beside the point.)
what happens if there is already a segment at TSTKTOP-USTKSIZE

Hi Eric, I'm Ben. I'm sorry I triggered this controversy, it wasn't
my intention to do anything other than ridicule what I thought was a
bad software patent.
I think you personally are probably a great person and someone I'd
like to meet and be friends with. I love Plan 9 and I have a hard

What clients are people using these days? I remember using something

putting the TSTK above the user stack is what the alpha

for the upper half of the temporary stack because thats
what exec accesses.

It sounds like you're describing irc7. There's also an irc7.2, which
is some cosmetic changes, plus factotum authentication. I usually
use the ircsrv from irc7.2 (which does the factotum bit, talks the
irc protocol, creates a /tmp and /srv file, and sits in the background)
and the irc from irc7
