Interesting.  I've only used Venti on 64-bit hosts, though I've not
tried using vacfs from Plan 9 from User Space yet.  I have a couple of
large imports I pulled in from other file systems (around 30GB
uncompressed), but haven't seen a case yet where data was truncated or
otherwise corrupted when accessed by Plan 9.

That's actually great to hear - I had always assumed I was running a
fringe configuration, but it has made offsite backup of the venti
store a much simpler affair than before.

Cheers,
Steve
