True. But not having an fs that supports dump is exactly what makes 9vx a lighter weight environment (unless I'm grossly mistaken and #Z in 9vx actually has a way of supporting dump). > for example, i've been mounting my diskless fs with 9vx. yesterday > works just fine. i'm sure you could use a linux-based venti with > plan 9-based fossil as well. True, but I'd really like to NOT have any extra software running and still have and ability to do replica/* and yesterday under 9vx. Can this be done? Thanks, Roman.
