I had a venti/copy go bad on me once, and it didn't seem to me as if there were network problems at the time. I *think* I used copy -f; as a sanity check I tried to tar some random old dump trees to /dev/null and found blocks missing. So I fell back to copying each arena from the old machine to the new one and feeding it to the new venti with wrarena (the new venti had different sizes for everything, so I couldn't just use the old arenas). In hindsight I probably should have reported the problem; I didn't because of uncertainty that what I was trying to do made sense and because of "new venti soon" rumors... Dave Eckhardt
