Re: [9fans] 9fs nvr file

[erik quanstrom <quanstro@quanstro.net>]

thanks for the suggestion.  what i did instead was

	flag noauth

which does what i need to do.  i don't have a suitable machine to run
the auth server on.

i can think of two possible ways of solving this.  either run fossil+auth
on the fs machine or run authsrv on a linux box under p9p.  unfortunately,
i can't boot the distribution from cd on that machine.  there's some 440gx
problem that reboots the machine without warning about the time rio
should start. this was using yesterday's iso.  a bit older distribution failed
from the ide drive as the symbios driver took umbrage over a message
from the card.

oh, and p9p doesn't have authsrv.

i really need to get my act together and cobble together a single-board pc
with a cf drive to run the auth server on. ☺

p.s.  if you'd be interested in the patch that allows nvr access to a partition.
(preferablly the one you booted from.), i'll submit that.  it's a few lines.  though
they aren't particularly attractive.

one last question: why does the worm writer starve for data rythmically when dumping?
the read/write cycle is about 1.5-2 seconds.  did i configure something wrong?
