> What, precisely, is your use case?
As I said, the go cross-compile was just an example task to
test the viability of v9fs. I don't *need* to cross-compile
on linux: the 9pi image, for example, comes with native
go binaries which I can use for bootstrapping.
Right.
The real use case is to have some linux-only tools -- fpga
circuit compilation toolchains for example -- keeping their
data on the plan 9 server, with the benefit of fossil snapshots
and much more space than is available on a little thinkpad SSD.
Oh I see. Very well, then. But is it not possible that the FPGA tools don't have the same issues with mmap that e.g. Go does? I'm afraid the rest of us have gotten wrapped around that axle but it's a bit of a red-herring.
