i got the impression that sources were in some inconsisten= t state.

if the only change is the new system call, isn&= #39;t it sufficient to:

* pull only /sys/src/9
* build the kernels you need and install on boot medium
* reboot
* pull again and rebuild all the binaries
since existing binaries would work on the new kernel?

The safe way to upgrade your = file server is simply to update the kernel binaries (for example, with the = ones I'm providing) on your 9fat and reboot.

Then, you can pull the updated program binaries from /n/sour= ces.

There is no need to wait, because you have to be running the= new kernel before pulling the new binaires anyway.

In the case you need a custom kernel to boot your file serve= r, you will have to grab the changes manually (like http://9= fans.eu/pegasus/sources/plan9/plan9-2014-05-15.diff), and recompile/rei= nstall/reboot your kernel.
