Well, perhaps now is a good time to own up! (Sorry for the
delay in responding, but we had to write a web-page first!)
I have been working on a re-implementation of Venti - initially for
Linux, but it should be easy to port the core functionality to other
Unix-like platforms, and eventually to Windows (I suppose...).
This is not a port of Venti, but a rewrite from scratch - I have not
seen/got the Venti source, although I have read the paper, and the
man pages. I'm using the same basic ideas of Venti, but also making a
number of different technical tradeoffs. Some of these trade-offs
still need to be validated in practice (I'm working on it! :-).
Before some of you get too excited - it isn't protocol-compatible
with Venti (at least, I don't think it is! That would be
too much of a coincidence! (see above) :-)
Our goal is to release this as a shareware-style product, hopefully
this year, for a price that would be consistent with your
$100/machine.
I hadn't put a Mac OS X version high on the agenda - should I
reconsider? :-)
