Hello,
My comments about reliability of fossil.
I have two fossil server. One is for home network, another is for
Internet.
CASE fossil for home network
That works perfectly fine. No trouble since the first installation

CASE fossil for Internet
My computers are placed at my office of my university.
Three of my machines were dead at 8 August because of typhoon.
Windows were open and the machines were drenched!
File server and CPU server were alive.
So I reconstructed file server to be auth+venti+fossil server.
The system continued working without any trouble until 30 September.
My system, ar.aichi-u.ac.jp (with alias plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp) has been
in service for educational purpose. A massive amount of accesses
comes from students, specially at every Tuesday.
The day, 30 September, was the first Tuesday of this semester.
From that day, my fossil falls into broken state at every Tuesday.
I suspected hardwares because they were old and I replaced them
with new one. However even after the replacement, fossil continues
getting
into trouble at every Tuesday.
Now I have added new machine that is based on kfs for the services to
students.
I appreciate the effort of Russ. Fossil is really fine. But it is
desired to
test under hard condition.

how did you reconstruct the file server? copying the arenas back?
Did you start with a brand new fossil?
Is this fossil the one breaking?

I reconstructed venti and fossil from the scratch using the copy in kfs:
- first time (at the time my system is damaged by typhoon)
I constructed auth+venti+fossil server from old machine that had been
my file server.
HDs were old 8GB + 8GB.
- second time ( at the first corruption of fossil )
I reconstructed auth+venti+fossil server using the copy in kfs, not
from arenas.
Although I suspected the origin of the trouble is in old machine:
P3/Xeon/866 with 256MB memory
- third time (at second corruption of fossil )
I replaced the old machine with new machine (Athron 2200+ with 512MB
memory) but HDs were still old.
I reconstructed the server using the copy in kfs, not from arenas.
Although I suspected the origin of the trouble is in old HDs.
- fourth time (at third trouble of fossil )
I replaced old HDs with new HD (80GB).
arenas and fossil are constructed from the scratch.
I expected fossil can run without trouble.
- fifth time (at fourth trouble of fossil that were happened at mid
night dump)
I simply execute:
checkarenas
checkindex
flchk
- sixth time (at fifth trouble of fossil )
I simply execute:
checkarenas
checkindex
flchk
and posted the problems to 9fans

In constructing arenas and fossil I got new version of fossil and venti
binary
from sources.cs.bell-labs.com and used them as it is.
