Re: [9fans] file server trouble

good to know, and thanks for explaining what's likely going on.

i'm a little reluctant to fiddle with the file server kernel without
understanding what's going on (particularly given the nature of
the comment on that line!), and i'm afraid the file server code is
just a bit dense (as in compact, tightly-written) for me to get a
good handle so far. what's this line _do_? it looks like it's setting
the cache size based on the superblock size, but i don't get
what that _means_ given the cache size is defined at config.

the file server's currently returning a few "Ephase" errors (and
let me just tell you how happy i am to get errors where the
diagnostic is "can't happen"!), which seems consistant with what
you're saying. but if i recover to a dump with these phase errors
in them, are they likely to ever go away? should i re-create the
files in question and allow the fs to do a dump before trying to
do the recover?

much continued gratitude...
