[9fans] 9fat format

2014-04-17 Thread arisawa
Hello, It is curious for me that if 9fat is formatted by disk/format of 9front, then 9atom fails in boot with the error message MBR...PBS2...Bad format or I/O errors (or PBS1) In making 9fat, I applied 9atom’s pbslba, 9load, etc except disk/format: disk/format -b pbslba -d -r 2 /dev/sdC0/9fat

[9fans] 'Compose' key and Unicode characters

2014-04-17 Thread Riddler
Hello guys, I'm toying with floating point and the possibility of making some regression tests for Plan 9's FP support. At the moment I'm testing results of computations that should result in +/- infinity and as plan9 is built with Unicode in mind figured I should attempt to use the actual ±

I'm aware there are shortcuts for some of these (including ±) in lib/keyboard but I could not get the +- shortcut to work. I discovered it's because I wasn't using numpad keys (I'm on a laptop), when I do it works as expected. I'm assuming it's because of the 'shift' key in between to get

[9fans] nusb/disk in 9front and usb/disk in sources

2014-04-17 Thread kokamoto
I'm now seeing two types of usb/disk implementation as in the title. The 9front's one can recognize partions in the usb disk, however, the other cannot. I feel the 9front's usb/disk is much better than the other. On the other hand, the former doesn't use threadmain(). Why? Is it be safe to mix
