Haha :) Thanks. I got it. It's hard for me to not to write code for handling those low-priority cases. If the probability is such low, I understand. :)
on the other hand... is the block size (write/read block size) fixed (to 8k?) in Venti? I feel like I read somewhere in the Venti paper that that block size is of length chooseable from the application. (I'm not English native, so I hardly would say that I understand clearly an explanation in English. :) 2006/2/6, Ronald G Minnich <[email protected]>: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I think I heard someone quote Rob as saying something like: "lower > > than the probability that all the atoms in one half of the universe > > would get up all at the same time and move to the other side of the > > universe" > > right, but lest we lose track, don't forget the importance of the hash > you pick.
