How do I enable hd dma? There's a dmamode=ask in my plan9.ini, but I don't see that option mentioned in the plan9.ini man. echo dma on /dev/sdXY/ctl see in sd(3). 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. -Josh

sorry for the lazy question, but sometimes it's easier to post to 9fans than to think or to seek for info. Is there any crontab equivalent in plan 9? I mean, is there a way to execute something regularly at a given time period? cron(8) -Josh

[9fans] Plan 9 support in mainline Discount

I'm happy to say Plan 9 is now a supported platform for the Discount tools for processing the Markdown format. One can grab Discount from its home page (http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/markdown/) use an included almost-normal mk routine to compile and install it. It builds in the APE
