Hello all,

I am trying to set up venti under plan9 ports (using a recent update) on an 
OpenBSD 3.8 box.

I have dedicated an 80GB disk for venti arenas.  I ran the following command:

# venti/fmtarenas -a 128m isi /dev/rwd1c
part /dev/rwd1c: file /dev/rwd1c offset 0 size 80,026,361,856

This command was started several days ago and still has not completed.

Top tells me:

load averages:  2.73,  2.83,  2.92                                    08:58:19
94 processes:  2 running, 91 idle, 1 on processor
CPU states:  9.8% user,  0.0% nice, 90.2% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% idle
Memory: Real: 243M/301M act/tot  Free: 196M  Swap: 0K/512M used/tot

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE    WAIT     TIME    CPU COMMAND
 8089 root      64    0   24M   24M run      -       78.9H 49.41% fmtarenas
16709 root      64    0   24M   23M run      -       44.5H 47.71% fmtarenas


Should it take this long to format the arenas on an 80GB disk?

Did I run fmtarenas correctly?

Regards,
Henry
