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=3D/dev/sdC0/fscfg bootfile=3DsdC0!9fat!9pcf bootargs=3Dlocal!#S/sdC0/fossil bootdisk=3Dlocal!#S/sdC0/fossil *nomp=3D1 *nodumpstack=3D1 partition=3Dnew dmamode=3Dask mouseport=3Dps2 monitor=3Dvesa vgasize=3D1280x1024x8 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 On 2/3/06, Micah Stetson wrote: > > cat /dev/dri?ers | grep devfs > > Does that actually print both files?
