Thanks Josh, The disk is indeed old, I already did a low level format, or that it's what the tools I used told me :) The problem was corrected after I booted with the plan9 livecd and did a check to the disk with this. fossil/fossil -c 'srv -p fscons' con /srv/fscons prompt: srv -AWP replica prompt: fsys main config /dev/sdC0/fossil prompt: fsys main open -AWP warning: connecting to venti: cs: can't translate address: '/srv/dns' file does not exist prompt: fsys main main: check fix PS: Newbie self note. Don't do this without the livecd (on the running file system).
