thanks Dave... will look into the overlay file system + kernel hack soun.. got the 9front booting off one 9660 drive now (50GB) and am mounting my second 20GB drive into /tmp/D (its a 9fat partition) and i have rebooted and the created D files are still there one strange thing that bogged me

Re: [9fans] mounting a 9660 file system - writeable

9660srv's job is to serve the files stored on a CD-ROM. CD-ROMs are more or less read-only, so 9660srv serves the files as read-only as well. In most setups, the /tmp file system is "stored" in RAM. It's faster than sending the data to some storage device, and when you turn the machine off the

[9fans] Pipes staying after sending note

Hello, I'm trying to understand how pipes work when terminating a forked process. It seems when sending kill to the forked process, connected pipes don't always break. At least a subsequent write might work. Is it possible to make it reliably fail anyway or is it necessary to close the file

9660srv - it mounts an iso as 9p file server in /srv/9660, so you need to do a mount(1) to actually see the contents.-SteveOn 7 Jul 2023, at 7:20 pm, Conor Williams wrote:ok... thank you Steve, well in...that particular train of thought leads me to another question...has you r a'yone an

Yeah if libwtf could get feature complete for wchar stuff (not a port, made from scratch, remapping wchar stuff to libutf) that might also help with a bunch of ports. No idea if that would be acceptable in upstream APE even. Den lör 1 juli 2023 13:15Conor Williams skrev: > great stuff Jens...
