I'll see if there's anything of general use in my notes on migration.

As nemo says, if you're running kenfs now, it's probably easiest to
use cwfs(4) to keep using your existing file systems, with a small
fossil for booting.

Migrating from venti to nventi is almost painless and maybe we can
make it completely so.  You'll likely want to at least add a 512MB
bloom filter to improve performance, but nventi copes with venti
arenas just fine.  The only incompatibility I can think of is that
nventi/venti doesn't accept all the options that venti/venti does, and
refuses to start if you give it unknown options.  It might be better
to complain on stderr and in syslog and ignore venti options that
nventi doesn't currently recognise.
