Looks like an interesting project and I wouldn't be surprised if Rob and Co. aren't at least considering what comes after Plan9. Something will.
I was never suggesting such a solution.

I should have perhaps begun with something along the lines of ...

I consider that changing bio to meet a specific need and adding flags to enable the new functionality is not a very forward looking solution.

Translation: Don't touch the artwork. Wait for rob to create next artwork instead. Preferably in Golang.

Flags to fix buffering are an ugly hack but the only better solution I can think of asynchronous buffering, which is impossible to implement in Plan 9, at least transparently.

You also misunderstood the purpose of the bio fix. It's not just for buffering, it's an attempt to make bio more generally applicable.

Have fun guys and ask Cinap what it was like to work and fool around in Australia.

If it was anything like this thread, I pity him already.

      I started trying to do that at one point, but never got my kernel much
      farther than booting just enough to run "Hello, world!" compiled with
      6c on a FAT filesystem in ring 0 and then crashing the system before
      deciding I don't have the time to finish it or get it somewhere
      useable. If anyone who has the time is interested in picking it up,
      contact me off-list and I'll send you a link to my (horribly written
      and designed) code.

      I'm more of a userspace kinda guy anyways..
