[9fans] cwfs64x+cryptsetup+mirror?

[trebol]

Hello everyone,
Anyone has used cryptsetup with cwfs64x and fs's mirror feature?
Any reliability problems?

Also, weeks ago I send a mail to contrib@plan9.bell-labs.com without response.
I would like to share some ape ports and dictionaries for dict.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
trebol.

fs would seem unnecessary in combination with cwfs, since cwfs
can make mirrors all on its own.  and the native mirrors have features
that fs' don't.

I don't believe that address is used much any more.

the usual technique is to email geoff at plan9..bell-labs.com
and ask for a contrib directory and an account.

Once you have this you can either put .tgz files on sources by hand:

	9fs sources
	cp package.tgz /n/sources/contrib/$user/

or even use the contrib package managment system built by fgb.

This can be bootstraped using:

	9fs sources
	/n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/rc/bin/contrib/install fgb/contrib

then look at the manual for contrib(1) for more info.

Yes erik, I mean cwfs's mirror feature, sorry.

Any experience with this and cryptsetup? I'm going to make a new plan9 installation
(9front because I don't know how to use cryptsetup with bell's plan9) which will be
my primary os, so I would like to know some other users's experiences.

Thanks Steve. I'm putting order in my staff and learning to make proper mk installations.
When I finish this I will email geoff.
