[9fans] golang on 9atom

[Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan]

I do not remember getting this error in the Labs version. But on 9atom
with kfs, I get a build error while compiling golang 1.3.3 from the
source:

go tool dist: create
/usr/ram/src/go/src/pkg/runtime/zruntime_defs_plan9_amd64.go:
'/usr/ram/src/.... amd64.go' name too long

I remember getting this error on 9atom before too, but had forgotten to
report it.

The error is what it says: the file name (rather than the full path) is too long for your file server. It sounds like you're running kfs, which is the oldest and most restricted of our general purpose options. Long-term, I suggest migrating, although if you're on a single-system setup and already have data you care about, that can be a pain. In the short-term, check out lnfs(4) to get around this issue.

Thank you. Didn't know about lnfs and the kfs limitations. I wonder, why
then is the kfs, the default for 9atom. I see a fossil option while
installation as an experimental option. Will try that out.

Unfortunately, the labs ISO boots and gets stuck on my hardware.

one is expected to use the initial install to provision
a well-configured system.  the intial install can also serve
as a rescue image.  it's not intended as a long term solution.
i use ken's file server.
