add some debugging to 9pserve.c around 'read bad packet'.
i'm gonna guess (since i don't have time to get p9p auth
working) that this test has failed src/lib9/convM2S.c:216,217

I instrumented the code as you suggested.

/usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/9pserve.c:
Msg*
mread9p(Ioproc *io, int fd, int dotu)
{
	int n, nn;
	uchar *pkt;
	Msg *m;

	if((pkt = read9ppkt(io, fd)) == nil)
		return nil;

	m = msgnew(0);
	m->tpkt = pkt;
	n = GBIT32(pkt);
	nn = convM2Su(pkt, n, &m->tx, dotu);
	if(nn != n){
		fprint(2, "%T read bad packet from %d\n", fd);
		fprint(2, "n=%d nn=%d\n", n, nn);
		return nil;
	}
	return m;
}

/usr/local/plan9/src/lib9/convM2S.c:
uint
convM2Su(uchar *ap, uint nap, Fcall *f, int dotu)
{
/* snip */
	case Twstat:
		if(p+BIT32SZ+BIT16SZ > ep)
			return 0;
		f->fid = GBIT32(p);
		p += BIT32SZ;
		f->nstat = GBIT16(p);
		p += BIT16SZ;
		if(p+f->nstat > ep) {
			fprint(2, "erik is the man! p(%x)+f->nstat(%x) > ep(%x)", p, f->nstat, ep);
			return 0;
		}
		f->stat = p;
		p += f->nstat;
		break;
/* snip */
}

My test case tries to copy a file over top of one that already exists.
 In this case, the bug decided to flit right by the check at
convM2S.c:216,217.

i thought the original problem was trying to change
modes or permissions on a file.  that's why i guessed
the problem message would be a Rwstat.  perhaps i
gave the wrong line numbers?  in any event, you're
doing writes with your current example, so you
may wish to instrument all the cases in M2S that
return 0.

[9fans] remedial sources auth, connect, and mount in plan9port

[Jason Catena]

Geoff was kind enough to provide to me a contrib directory on sources,
so I'm now trying to write into it.

I can't seem to get the hang of the authorization, connection, and
mount steps necessary for an authorized mount of sources in plan9port,
so I can just copy files into my contrib directory.  Over several
dozen attempts to understand factotum, it never saves any actual data
for me, so I apparently have some serious misunderstandings.

For the mount, I can use the following to mount sources read-only, but
I can't save anything into it.
sudo 9mount 'tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com' /n/sources

9fs sources also doesn't seem to provide an authenticated connection,
or a mount.

Would someone be kind enough to chant the few magic plan9(port)
incantations with which I can store my sources-server username and
password with factotum, connect to sources, and mount sources
(specifically, my directory) as a writable filesystem?   I promise
diligent study, to understand what the commands do.

Re: [9fans] remedial sources auth, connect, and mount in plan9port

[Venkatesh Srinivas]

Hi,

In order to construct an authenticated mount of sources, you will need
to start factotum, use srv -a to create an auth-ed connection to the
server and to "post" it, and to mount the "posted" connection.

(assuming you have a working plan9port install and are on a unix):
$ 9 factotum
(start factotum in the current 'namespace'. p9p's current namespace is
the value of the NAMESPACE environmental variable).

$ srv -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com
(I am prompted for my userid and password on the server)
user[venkatesh]: <my sources username>

[mount step; I use v9fs.You will have to adapt if you're using 9pfuse or 9mount]
$ sudo mount -t 9p $NAMESPACE/sources.cs.bell-labs.com <mountpath> -o trans=unix

Good luck,
-- vs

Re: [9fans] remedial sources auth, connect, and mount in plan9port

[Jason Catena]

Thank you very much, Venkatesh.  All the commands work (don't fail) as
you gave them.  I still get the same permission-denied error I got
before.  I can see it, but am not allowed to write to it.

You have numbers for user and group names there.  Un*x likes the
numbers, but plan 9 wants strings.  Maybe when you write your system
is sending those numeric IDs because it hasn't got anything to
translate them to.  I'm just guessing, but based on a little
experience with drawterm I'd at least find out if there's more work
needed to get the right names to the remote system.

 Yeah, I suspect at this point the linux kernel is denying the
operation based on its idea of permissions. there's a v9fs mount
option you might try... I forget what it is exactly but 9mount -i does
it :)
 Try:

9mount -i 'unix!/tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.101:0/sources.cs.bell-labs.com' /n/sources

srv(4) has an example on how to do an authenticated
mount of sources, which needs an update BTW. The
command to mount using  v9fs should now look like:

mount -t 9p -o user=$USER,uid=`id -u`,gid=`id -g`,trans=unix
`namespace`/sources.cs.bell-labs.com /n/sources

This does mount, and let me write into my directory, thanks!

Every time I do so, either with touch or  chmod for example, I get
errors like this:

Oct  1 08:52:39.288 read bad packet from 5

I can 9umount and then 9mount again for my next write operation as root.

Oddly enough, cp does not throw the error.  I can cp fine, then touch
gives me this

$ sudo touch that
[sudo] password for jdc:
Oct  1 10:20:25.502 read bad packet from 6
$ ls
ls: cannot open directory .: Input/output error

I unmount and remount and then I can cp again.

$ cd -
/home/jdc
$ sudo 9umount /n/sources
[sudo] password for jdc:
$ sudo 9mount -i
'unix!/tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.101:0/sources.cs.bell-labs.com' /n/sources
$ cd -
/n/sources/contrib/catenate
$ sudo cp /home/jdc/contrib/latin1.7a.font .
$ ls
lsguide  latin1.7a.font  that  this

So all the files get there, it's just annoying to have to
unmount/remount, and to have everything owned by root.

$ ls -la
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  62 2009-10-01 08:59 guide
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 577 2009-10-01 10:21 latin1.7a.font

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   0 2009-10-01 08:49 this

> -sqweek

I also tried Abhishek's command also, but still got "permission denied".

Thanks everyone for your help.
