Re: [9fans] Fossil on devfs

Hi Simon,

I did make identical partitions for fossil in two disks and did a dd
copy from CDROM-booted plan9. To me it appears that I have done it
correctly. Your reply seems to be based on /dev/fs and venti. But I am
mirroring fossil. Right now, I couldnt check if /dev/fs is ready with
mirrored partitions before fossil during boot time. I think thats
where the problem is.

Here are my config details:

term% cat plan9.ini
fsconfig=/dev/sdC0/fscfg
bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf
bootargs=local!#S/sdC0/fossil
bootdisk=local!#S/sdC0/fossil

*nomp=1
*nodumpstack=1
partition=new
dmamode=ask

mouseport=ps2
monitor=vesa
vgasize=1280x1024x8

term% cat /dev/sdC0/fscfg
fsdev:
mirror fosssil /dev/sdC0/fossil /dev/sdC1/fossil
term%
term% fossil/conf /dev/sdC0/fossil
fsys main config /dev/sdC0/fossil
fsys main open -V -c 3000

To me, it appears that somehow fs is not ready before fossil asks for
/dev/fs/fossil. The messages I get during boot are :

time...
fossil(#S/sdC0/fossil)...fsOpen: open /dev/fs/fossil: 'dev/fs/fossil'
does not exit
fsys main open -V -c 3000: fsOpen: open /dev/fs/fossil:
'dev/fs/fossil' does not exit
version...boot: mount /: fsys: 'main' not open
panic: boot process died: unknown
dumpstack disabled
cpu0: exiting

Thanks
dharani
