You mean like losing files and lockups? true. Snapshots help here however.
But it is still hardly an ideal situation.
I do not totally agree with some of the linux comments I have seen here.
My experience is that Plan 9 file systems are less reliable than linux
file systems, and both of these are less reliable then freebsd, and none
of them compare to AIX JFS from 1991. In 1991, to reboot an RS/6000 AIX
machine running JFS, you just hit reset. You never lost a file.
For trusting my files to a system, I don't yet see an advantage of Plan 9
over Linux. That situation is set to improve, I suppose. But I just lost a
file today under fossil and I had a fossil lockup last week, so work is
left to be done.
