No, my venti is not damaged. I just wanted to get some of my files back. I'll try Steve's idea. But is there any way to bring up a venti server read-only -- without it trying to sync or write blocks? (The block-writing was the stage at which QEMU would crash.)

Hello. I'm trying to recover my files from the fossil+venti system I have. I
changed the configuration to read

      fsys oldfs config /dev/sdC1/fossil
      fsys oldfs open -AWPVr
      srv fossil

then do

      fossil/fossil -f /dev/sdC1/fossil
      mount /srv/fossil /n/oldfs oldfs

but when I try to get to /n/oldfs/active/usr/pietro/lib/profile, venti spits out an error talking about "wrong score: not connected to venti." Is there a way to get my files back without connecting to venti? When it tries to
connect to venti, I get an error saying that service isn't found.

Thanks.

your data is on your venti, so no dice.

copy the venti partion (and fossil, if it's synced and quiescent) to
somewhere would be a good start with a really screwed up scenario.
