Its worth noting that you can do the same thing with the native 9p
servers for linux (u9fs, spfs, or npfs). Alternatively you could run
a AOE vblade server, or a p9p venti (although you'd still need a
solution for the fossil disk, but a ramdisk might be the best solution
here for speed). It

why cant fossil also use vblade?
I thought I covered that by saying you could run an AOE vblade server
(by which I meant to imply you could run any of the available file
systems over AOE or venti), but perhaps I

Why do you want to run your file server in qemu anyway, though?
For snapshots, I use dump9660 on my host, coupled with inferno; u9fs would
work just as well.

that depends on what your goals are. if your goal is

Well, it is also important to note that I am getting these spikes on
qemu while the emulator is essentially idling.
There really should be no reason it should be hitting the virtual disk
like that repeatedly on intervals. Is there no
other explanation for why it would be doing that?
Hi, I recently did a clean install of plan9 on qemu on linux. I've noticed
that the load is spiking on an interval every 30 seconds or something like
that. I looked at suggestions that it might be venti and timesync. But it
couldn't be venti because I didn't install venti, I have a fossil only
