Subject: [9fans] p9p vbackup fs type endiannes
Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 01:01:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <562BCA89-2B62-4C7A-A570-69E833A7FE32@utopian.net> (raw)
I'm trying to use p9p's vbackup(8) on a linux powerpc system.
# vbackup -m /boot /dev/hda3
vbackup: ffsopen: bad magic 0x53ef wanted 0xef53
Linux statfs(2) says 0xef53 is a linux ext2 partition type. There
is an ext3 partition at /dev/hda3, so vbackup (its call to fsysopen())
is expecting the right fs type, but seems to be getting the endian
obverse of that value.
(The kernel is debian's stock 2.6.18-5-powerpc. P9p is dated 11/08
from http://swtch.com/plan9port/.)
Anyone else attempting to doubly edify linux in this fashion
and seeing likewise?
