That will allow you to empty that fossil completly. I am not sure if you can dump two fossils to one venti, but i suppose yes. gabi --upas-ainjxhkmpvnjfytlfnllvtfncc Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-path: <9fans-bounces+gdiaz=online.ie@cse.psu.edu> Envelope-to: gdiaz@online.ie Delivery-date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 16:02:41 +0000 Received: from [130.203.4.6] (helo=mail.cse.psu.edu) by mail.online.ie with esmtp (Exim 4.33) id 1CPNar-0004iy-4C for gdiaz@online.ie; Wed, 03 Nov 2004 16:02:41 +0000 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 6B82CB8F2 for ; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 11:01:50 -0500 (EST) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id B4E9163E7A for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 11:01:17 -0500 (EST) Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (psuvax1 [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with LMTP id 07894-01-42 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 11:01:15 -0500 (EST) Received: from wproxy.gmail.com (wproxy.gmail.com [64.233.184.198]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id EDD8D63E26 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 11:01:14 -0500 (EST) Received: by wproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id 65so154791wri for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Wed, 03 Nov 2004 08:01:10 -0800 (PST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:reply-to:to:subject:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:references; b=f87KSohDifE+tpITF6bIR1pd7z64kzb86Qd03AxpDygkV5/fzUiX4lmA/PTtxoIoeCUfP3top/AicjstR93v8Ti/15s+nJRlbRZEa6jPsIqjIQvWARAWIt+Ht9c9SgfSxQEvE9NpBzqT32/OXxWloMcZ605j1VaeWK17B4xGK3Q= Received: by 10.54.39.26 with SMTP id m26mr341358wrm; Wed, 03 Nov 2004 08:01:09 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.54.42.51 with HTTP; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 08:01:09 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <88a4775604110308014efb9764@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2004 17:00:09 +0059 From: Matthias Teege To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Subject: Re: [9fans] venti crashes at startup In-Reply-To: <20041103104736.GA7923@SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit References: <88a47756041103002858d7e6d@mail.gmail.com> <38c3fbecc91da8da2200ca416342ca86@vitanuova.com> <88a4775604110301272a599a0@mail.gmail.com> <20041103104736.GA7923@SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: Matthias Teege , Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@cse.psu.edu> List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: 9fans-bounces+gdiaz=online.ie@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-bounces+gdiaz=online.ie@cse.psu.edu On Wed, 3 Nov 2004 11:47:36 +0100, Heiko Dudzus wrote: > It's because you don't set bootargs and bootdisk in your venti section > of plan9.ini, I think. Ok, my plan9.ini looks like this now: bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pccpuf bootargs=local!#S/sdC0/ bootdisk=local!#S/sdC0/ venti=/dev/sdC0/arenas ... The server comes up and I see the 'venti' message. ps ax | grep venti | wc -l gives 3. I make a snapshot with con /srv/fscons sys main snap -a but 'df' shows me that 11% of the write cache is used. I can see the snapshot after 9fs dump und /n/dump. Isn't the wriet cache cleaned automaticly? Matthias --upas-ainjxhkmpvnjfytlfnllvtfncc--
