Hi,
I am trying to set up a venti server but I can't. I am using p9p on
linux, downloaded around January 21.
I followed all the steps described on venti(8), a number of times
starting from scratch, but I always get

vtversion /dev/fd/8: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/8: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/8: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string
vtversion /dev/fd/7: vtversion: bad format in version string

while querying the venti web server. Before this,

>: venti/fmtbloom /my/partition
warning: size not a power of 2; only using 128MB
fmtbloom: using 128MB, 32 hashes/score, best up to 23,860,929 blocks

is the only step that produces a warning.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong somewhere, but I obviously don't
realize. Last time I had to set up a venti server (~1 year) things
went OK, and I am doing more or less the same as I did back then, as
far as I remember.
Here's my venti.conf

index main
isect /dev/ventihd3
arenas /dev/ventihd2
bloom /dev/ventihd4
mem 43M
bcmem 85M
icmem 128M

and my partitions are

   Name           Flags         Part Type    FS Type
[Label]           Size (MB)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ventihd2                      Primary     Plan 9
              237990.26
    ventihd3                      Primary     Plan 9
               11901.99
    ventihd4                      Primary     Plan 9
                 131.61

according to cfdisk.
