[9fans] i/o on a hangup channel asymmetry 1 14 (7/18/2009 6:42:21 PM) comp.os.plan9 In the "mom, why sky is blue" department, here's a silly question: is there any good reason that read(2) on a hangup channel returns an error, while write(2) on a hangup channel terminates an application (by ge... rvs

[9fans] Different representations of the same file/resource in a synthetic FS 2 16 (6/9/2009 5:10:21 PM) comp.os.plan9 Working on a RESTful API lately (which is as close to working on a 9P filesystem as I can get these days) I've been puzzling over this issue: is content negotiation a good thing or a bad thing? Or to justify po... rvs

[9fans] 9P writes for directories 4 18 (3/21/2009 7:06:50 AM) comp.os.plan9 I could swear that I remember the following question being asked during the times when 9P2000 was being introduced, but I simply can't find any relevant threads. I do apologize if my google-foo is failing me, b... rvs

[9fans] Quick question on fossil 1 15 (1/12/2009 6:16:39 PM) comp.os.plan9 Hi! I'm trying to read up on fossil implementation so that I can sustain an intelligent conversation with Andrey ;-) Now, the paper "Fossil, an Archival File Server" is pretty good, but here's one simple ques... rvs

[9fans] plan9 for calculations 2 20 (3/27/2009 9:31:33 PM) comp.os.plan9 Hello everybody, I noticed there are some thoughts about using plan9 on supercomputers. For me supercomputers are usually used to do some heavy calculations. And this leads me to a question. What software is t... rudolf.sykora (401)
