Subject: [9fans] Ken's file server - insurmountable problem?

I have to confess that my understanding of the file server is
improving, but evidently not fast enough.  I get:

  squiggle: cp(h0)69.6f[p(h0)19.6-p(h0)94.6] grow from 22406 to 22506 limit 71135 uid=3
  disk cache bucket 8 is full
  fs full uid=3

and I don't really understand how to get around this problem.

The actual definition for the filsys is:

  filsys 2e cp(h0)69.6f[p(h0)19.6p(h0)44.6p(h0)94.6]
  filsys 2edump o

Where the (IDE) disk is a little over 6 Gig, so that we're looking
at a cache of 370 Meg and a fake worm of 1.5 Gig (approximately).

I'm trying to copy around 370 Meg (that's a coincidence, and I'm
sure the actual data will exceed that capacity) to the file system
and the above error occurs.  Forcing a dump, on the obviously
mistaken assumption that it will free cache space (buckets?) did
not help: the error recurred when I tried to copy the remaining
data (the actual bucket number, I think, changed).

If it helps, the amount of data copied  before the failure seems
to be 290 Meg.
