[9fans] vac messages

[Mathieu Lonjaret]

Hi all,

I'm doing some nightly backups in a cron from a linux server with p9p
vac. Venti runs on a plan 9 filserver. From what I can unvac afterwards,
it seems like it's going fine, however I'm getting these kind of messages
in the mail sent by the cron daemon:

either

vac: vtcachelocal: asked for block #5395928; only 144918656 blocks

or even

vac: vtcachelocal: asked for nonexistent block 0

The first one occurs often but not on every run. The latter happened
only a few times.

Does anyone know what's going on? Should I worry about it?

Cheers,
Mathieu

When did you last update?  I fixed a bug that would produce
messages like this in

http://hg.pdos.csail.mit.edu/hg/plan9/rev/206d0c2fc7b5

on October 26.

Right, it seems like the files on that server don't have those fixes. I'll
update and check if this reoccurs.

Thanks,
Mathieu

It's been a few days since I updated and I don't get the error anymore,
so that was probably it, thanks.

Cheers,
