Subject: [9fans] fossil (again)
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:40:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120110024048.GA407@polynum.com> (raw)
So I have reinstalled Plan9 ("howto" do without CD etc. will be written
in some days).
Since I want to grasp fossil (no venti) for now, I have allocated "only"
1 Gb to the thing.
With an almost virgin installation (only some Mb more since I'm
debugging kerTeX on Plan9), and no snapshots, there are less than 300Mb
of data, and fossil announces taking... 800Mb (with 1 Gb, I have only
20% free).
Can somebody point me to a doc that a less than gifted mind, it
seems, can have a rough idea about what's going on, what space is
needed etc; is there a "garbage collector", that is for "-t" files and
dirs, once the file is deleted the blocks are freed and available, or is
there commands to run to reclaim space etc.?
I _read_ the man pages. But this is still not clear...
Side note: are there statics about the Plan9 distribution, to know what
is the best size of blocks? It seems that there is a lot of small text
files, so 8kb is perhaps too much.
TIA
