This may have something to do with VM settings -- I vaguely recall some buffering issues. Haven't had any fossil problems once I switched to VirtualBox. I save plan9 state, quit from Vbox and may later restart this VM days/months later and things seem to keep working. I tried putting venti on the RPi and ran into some issues but at that time there were a lot of moving parts so can't be sure what happened. Right now I don't use venti with RPi because I want it to work in places with zero net connectivity and once you use venti with fossil, fossil gets very unhappy without it! If everything accessible from the last snapshot was locally available, fossil wouldn't fallover. A `best practices' guide for fossil+venti would be very helpful.
