Why are you expecting your fossil partition to become more empty? It's a cache - so even when a block has been copied to venti, it is still useful to keep a copy in fossil as well, in case it's referenced again. It will be marked 'clean', so that it can be evicted from the cache instantly if fossil runs out of space. Are you still worried that blocks aren't being copied to venti at all? You can check by looking at the archive score which is printed on fossilcons right after a 'snap -a' is done. You can use vacfs to mount this score as a fs, and then explore that to see if everything is there. If you *really* want to empty your fossil partition, you can reformat it immediately after a 'snap -a', using the '-v score' option with the score of the snap you just made. (Take the usual precautions first,, of course.) -- Richard
