[9fans] upas/fs & drawterm

[Sam]

I'm drawterm'd into one of our cpu servers and trying to
access my mailbox from the dump, unsuccessfully.  I think
the problem is that upas/fs forked the namespace and can't
find the dump I later mounted, but I'm not sure what the
fix is.

My lib/profile is a little old, so I looked at
sources/plan9/usr/glenda/lib/profile.  It didn't seem
sufficiently different to fix the problem.

baron% 9fs dump
baron% ls -l /n/dump/2005/0101/mail/box/sah/mbox
alrw--w--w- M 978423 sah sah 13646139 Jan  1 04:51 
/n/dump/2005/0101/mail/box/sah/mbox
baron% mail -f /n/dump/2005/0101/mail/box/sah/mbox
!can't 'open /n/dump/2005/0101/mail/box/sah/mbox mbox1114523960': 
'/n/dump/2005/0101/mail/box/sah/mbox' does not exist
upas/nedmail: can't read

I can copy the mbox file into my home tmp/ and get at
with mail -f ./mbox, but it'd be nice to not have to
jump through hoops.

Thoughts?

mount the dump before starting upas/fs.

>>mount the dump before starting upas/fs.

also remember that you can run more than one copy of upas/fs
(eg, in different name spaces), if that's more convenient
for what you'd like to do.
