Hi,
I executed the fossil 'sync' command when my terminal was under
moderate I/O load earlier today. Fossil seems to have locked up. Has
anyone seen anything like this?
I have a dump of the first 256mb of kernel memory and all physical
memory. Are there any structures that are kept at reasonably

The locking I can see along the path of 'sync' is

There's a talk Doug McIllroy gave where he joked about how he
basically invented (or rather, discovered) recursion because someone
said ``Hey, what would happen if we made a FORTRAN routine call
itself?'' IIRC he had to tinker with the compiler to get it to accept
the idea, and at first, no one
In this respect rating the expressive power of C versus LISP depends
very much on the problem domain under discussion.
Of course. I pointed out in my first post on the thread that [...] for a

Hi,
I have set up a combined auth/cpu/fileserver (using fossil) under
parallels.
The hostowner is bootes and I created an ordinary user called james.
I can connect with drawterm with either user.
I can also boot a plan 9 terminal in a parallels instance from the
server. If I do this as
Are you implying Doug McIlroy hadn't been taught about (and inevitably
occupied by) Church-Turing Thesis or even before that Ackermann function and
had to wait to be inspired by a comment in passing about FORTRAN to realize
the importance of recursion?! This was a rhetorical question, of

Thanks for the first-hand account :-)
Don't be Whiggish in your understanding of history. Its participants
did not know their way.
Given your original narrative I really can't argue. Maybe, as you note, I'm
wrongly assuming everyone knew a significant part of that which had come
before
Considering that Plan 9 has only two inherent languages,
and its users often push for work to be done in only those,
what is the Plan 9 perspective of languages and tools in
relation to each other?
I guess rc C are meant.
True, I feel to be pushed to these. On the other hand I really like
True, I feel to be pushed to these. On the other hand I really like
rc. Compared to bash/sh/ksh/zsh... I like its simplicity as well as
that it is the only shell in plan9. I use it in linux too (although I
miss some abilities it really should have, like ability to break from
a loop).

Folks:
Using the Plan 9 ISO provided by Erik Quanstrom I was able to get Plan
9 to boot and detect my hard drives. So far so good.
Once in the installer I selected fossil+venti and proceeded to run
fdisk on sdC0 to create one large Plan 9 partition. No problems.
After running fdisk on sdC1 I
would you be willing to try

Okay, that works. 9atom.iso found both of my hard drives.
that's great!
What is the difference between 9atom and the Plan 9 ISO I downloaded
from the official website?
essentially, the kernel and 9load are

Okay, that works. 9atom.iso found both of my hard drives.
I now see the following drives detected when I get to the partdisk
step of the install process:
sdC0 - ST3160821A
p1 0 8 (8 cylinders, 62.75MB)
After running fdisk on sdC1 I see the following error message when I
am returned to the installer menu:

by simple inspection. but i have confused the

I can't seem to do that; the installer doesn't give me a prompt after
