my disk is pegged; what do I look for?
|
| |
Just as a test we recently backed up my son's home directory from his macbook to venti. Some random tool had dropped a symlink somewhere down in his directory that pointed to /. Result was that all 60G went to venti. Since that time, the machine has not been happy. Looking at it, the hard disk is constantly pegged. I have no idea if the two events are... more »

Driver writing workshop at IWP9. Was: Re: apropos of the glendix post
|
| |
In recent years I have donated two epia mini-itx boards with plenty of cool goodies to two persons that at the time intended to write drivers for them, as far as I know nothing came out of either.

The closest is probably the libOS work I did (which was a modified Inferno kernel) that ran on PAPR, but I didn't end up implementing the disk or network virtualized I/O as I just used... more »

Which font do you prefer?
|
| |
What do you have as $font in your lib/profile? I ask because it seems that the ones I've tried are either far too big (I'm only working on 1024x768) or are missing a lot of the characters I want, like λ. Right now, /lib/font/bit/lucida/unicode.6 .font seems to be working pretty well, but I would like to get a monospace font if... more »
