Subject: [9fans] kfs bug
Date: Thu,  9 Sep 2010 14:39:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100909133941.BA57165D98@server.hemiola.co.uk> (raw)


kfs works fine for a bit and then fails with an "out of files" error.

It happens when the fid in a 9p message gets to a value greater than
32767. I think the "fid" field in struct File should be a 32-bit type
rather than a short int.

Would I be right in thinking that 9p originally had 16 bit fids? If
so, it suggests that no-one has used kfs in anger for a while.
