[9fans] Growing a venti

[Dave Eckhardt <davide+p9@cs.cmu.edu>]

It seems as if the steps to add data arenas are:

1. Format them with fmtarenas
2. Append them to the arena list in venti.conf
3. fmtindex -a

And the steps for adding index sections are:

1. Format with fmtisect
2. Add them to the list in venti.conf
3. fmtindex
4. buildindex

I assume that fmtindex and buildindex need to
be run with venti shut down... how do people
usually do this?  Boot against some other
file server, such as a TIP9UG account?

What size should be given to buildindex -B?
More or less all of physical memory?
