Russ,

If it is of interest to you I've attached the logs of the ventis that
I've run for the last year or two.  In both cases they've been running
on plan9ports, with arenas and indexes held in files in linux filesystems.

The logs are from venti running on two linux systems:

fafnir: venti used for "tinkering" and vbackup of some very small linux
file systems

nidhogg/w-cl28-g34-c: venti for a VMware guest plan9 cpu server, and
vbackup of some linux systems.  (The hostname changed

I put the logging into my crontab ages ago with the intention of
generating my own graphs but never got around to it.

The logs were generated with a very simplistic hourly cron job containing:

	VENTILOG=$HOME/log/venti-$HOSTNAME.log
	$PLAN9/bin/date -n >> $VENTILOG
        $PLAN9/bin/hget http://localhost:1088/storage >> $VENTILOG
