My date is organized, at least, in three distinct chunks:

an archival filesystem (no snapshots; no backup)

snaptime so that the low epoch is very need to the higher one.
You don't need to have several fossil on the disk. Just use chmod +t
/usr/tlaronde/rodata in order to avoid archiving your read-only data on
venti.
I don't follow. Wouldn't read only data be perfect for venti? If I had
a bunch of files that I would never need changed, I would just throw
them directly into venti and be done with it. Couldn't you just push
those files onto your venti srv, and access them through other methods
besides fossil, bypassing this whole snapshot thing all together?
I'm curious also how much ram this beast will have. Are you building a
new machine?
