The venti(8) man page used to contain a BUGS line saying: "Setting up a venti server is too complicated."
In my planport fork on github a new manpage for mventi(8) has changed this for probably other bugs. https://github.com/vestein463/plan9port The configuration file is gone, as are index sections and bloomfilter. I intend to allow empty arenas in the future. Presently, the logic of mventi still demands that for each arena the header and trailer page of the arenas are consistent. The arena partitions are communicated to the server as parameters in the command line. For testing, it should be possible to use a configuration with your old arenas write-protected and a fresh writable partition. A variant of the server is present in subdirectory mappedsrv, which uses mmap instead of conventional io. This is working fine on my FreeBSD15/amd64/32GB system. On my real file server, a WD mycloud ex2 linux/armv7/1GB, it only works for the tester script, but not for big partitions. This may be otherwise on more recent Linuxes, but changing the OS is not an option for me. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9d5aab37f407603c-M0ca972d6ff6e6b2e9c0ce56a Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
