Fossil needs to be big enough for all the changes you are likely
to do between venti snapshots.

Given venti usually snapshots every night I would say a fossil of
between 2 and 4 Gb is enough for most people.

You will want a swap of 1Gb or so, a 9fat of 100Mb, a sector
for nvram and perhaps another for fsconfig
(if you are mirroring or striping).

Give the remainder to Venti - about 5% to index and 95% to the arena.

These are my rules fo thumb, however others may disagree (ducks).
