No, the trailer is located at the end of the arena, just after clump info. The second number you see is the start of the next arena. It is preceded by two blocks: - the arena header of the next arena, - the arena trailer of the precedent arena. 32213057536/8192 = 3932258 In you example, arenas060 start at 3932258, so the header of arenas060 is 3932257 and the trailer of arenas059 is 3932256. You should really backup from 1048576-8192 (start of arenas00, including header) to 32213057536-2*8192 (end of arenas059, including trailer). Like many Venti tools, checkarenas check each arena header and trailer and verify they match. So you should be confident. -- David du Colombier
