Re: [9fans] 9Front network (driver?) issue

thats strange. when you plug in the drive, the nusbrc script
started the usb disk filesystem and run that fdisk command to
register the partitions. for some reason, the partitions
step failed. but when you run it manually later it wored.

the drive might be sensitive to the timing?

can you pull and replug the drive and see if there are any
error messages on the console?

as a work arround for now, you can try doing this manually:

diskparts /dev/sdU6.0
dossrv
mount -c /srv/dos /n/usb /dev/sdU6.0/dos
cd /n/usb

the dos filesystem does not do write buffering so there is
no need to flush. (see dossrv(4))

mounts are local to the namespace. you can remove something
from the namespace with the unmount command (see bind(1))
or you just close the whole namespace (close the rio window).

for documentation on formating and partitioning disks see prep(8).
