[9fans] problem with pull

[9fans] problem with pull

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello everybody,

I don't understand what's happening:

I run pull to attain the acme directory with the same contents as is
on the server.
Then I run pull again.
I'd expect there should be now no lines starting with acme, since it
has been synchronized.
But the truth is different. Not only I do not have the files up to
date, but some disappeared!

Also, could you tell me what those errors are about and what the
/n/boot directory is good for?

Thanks a lot!
Ruda

/n/boot seems to be the mount of #s/boot, the root file server srv file.

And what does it mean for my problem? How is it connected to the
messages I am getting?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Trying once more...
When I tried to update my system recently I obtained the attached result.
And I don't know if I understand it, neither how to proceed...

I wanted to update the system and use the exact copy of acme-related
things from the server.
But the pull didn't work (and still doesn't) as I expected.
Some errors appeared, and more, the next pull claimed e.g acme/win was
locally removed...
Can anybody shed some light on it?

Also, is there any example of e.g. local use replica, i.e.
synchronizing two directory trees?
Are there any pros why replica should be used in place of e.g. mercurial?

Thanks!
Ruda
