From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jean Mehat Message-Id: <200011130927.eAD9RCu15788@hon.ai.univ-paris8.fr> To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: [9fans] connection timeout with file server Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 10:27:12 +0100 Topicbox-Message-UUID: 293abbfa-eac9-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 I am trying to install a fresh main file system on a file server, from an standalone terminal. term% mount /srv/kfs tmp/root term% srv -bc il!193.54.153.106 bootes tmp/bootes term% disk/mkfs -u /adm/users -v -d tmp/bootes -s tmp/root /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/allproto files are listed as they are copied until: mkfs: /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/allproto:1: can't write tmp/bootes/386/9pcdisk: connection timed out exit '' getting rid if /386/9pcdisk is not enough. The same error occurs for /386/upas/bin/edmail. The terminal is a PentiumIII/Xeon on an ASUS CUV4XM motherboard, with an IDE disk and a 3c905 ethernet card. The file server is an old Pentium100 on an unidentified mother board, 3C905 ethernet, Tekram SCSI card. The fs kernel is built from /sys/src/fs/clone, using the files of ../plan9pc instead of ../emelie. (BTW, the same SCSI card and disk on another PentiumIII with a configuration equivalent to the one of the terminal hangs in or after the ream of w6 : there is no echo of the terminal, the floppy motor stays rotating).
