What am I missing?

stale /srv/replica, just run it once more and it'll be fine.

No idea.. I don't know why it could fail this way (if you didn't
modify /dist/replica/network). Try to execute the clientmount function
of the sript manually:

% echo 'srv -AWP replica' >> /srv/fscons
% mount -c /srv/replica /n/boot

Perhaps you get some error message on the fossil console?

simply repeating
replica/pull /dist/replica/network

didn't help. Did you mean it so?

that's it! err message was
usage: 'srv -Adp replica'

however , -Adp didn't work either, I had to remove all options, and voila!

Did you use a very old version of fossil?

Usually, one needs the flags AWP to circumvent authentication, disable
permission checking and allow arbitrary changes to owner and user
fields when doing a pull.

The d flag causes fossil to delete a service. That's definitely not
wanted for the clientmount. ;-) You can use it after the pull was
successful.

maybe of June, or so?

i did pull -s, restored config files, and it seems to work. should try another pull
now, though...

[nice to see the development moving so rapidly forward, indeed!]

fscons complains about  '-W' option
date of my 'con' is 
--rwxrwxr-x M 8 sys sys 76131 May 20 14:17 /bin/con
if it is relevant.

I think somebody mentioned this before.  It is very likely that you
have an old copy of fossil.  I cannot remember when the -W and -P
options moved to be parameters to the fscons srv command (they used to
be options to the fossil executable itself.

Doing a pull and restarting fossil (for example by rebooting :-) might
help you.

That's where you're problem is. Sorry.

So, you can try and reboot with your fossil being explicitly started
with the -AWP options?

Or you could try and start a new fossil -AWP (will that work?) onto a
different mount point and grab the new fossil from sources?

[andrey mirtchovski]

the fossil and venti binaries are compiled in the kernel for 9pcf and
9pccpuf kernels.  just rebooting won't make you run a new fossil, you
need to explicitly recompile your kernel.  this problem can be solved
if one is using two fossils on a pure file server -- one to boot the
local machine, the other to be executed from cpurc to serve everyone
else.  bell-labs use this setup.

perhaps someone has the precompiled kernel? TIA,

Updated kernels get pulled into /386.
