Is it? Well, to guess a specific block, obviously.
I'm pretty ignorant about the structures used to store trees in venti
- would it be possible to reconstruct the block containing the root of
a particular tree given say, /n/dump?
Presumably something along the lines of "vac /n/dump/2009/0204" would
suffice, but failing that you still don't need to guess exactly the
block you are looking for... How long would it take to brute force a
block of a tree (giving you references to lots of other blocks) from
venti?
