> How much RAM needs the Fossil+Venti Fileserver in total?

For both Fossil and Venti, the default, in Plan 9, is to
use 20% of total user memory. These values are defined in
/sys/src/9/boot/local.c.

The minimum required memory is something like 1 MB for Fossil
and 45 MB for Venti.

Venti have three caches (lump, block and index) and Fossil have a
single cache. Their size can be specified either manually in their
own configuration or automatically with the -m parameter.
Beware that for Venti, 1/3 of this percentage should be able to
contain the Bloom filter.
