Thank you so much for the replies.

This is what I am planning to do.

1. take a file, split it into many different parts (each part is
char*)
2. store each part on a venti server and collect the scores
3. when I need the file back, provide the scores to the venti and get
the parts back
4. merge the parts and create the file back

The problem is that I was planning on keeping the number of parts is
fixed. So depending on the file size, the part size will vary. And
therefore sometimes the (part = block) that I store will be more than
the current upper limit of 64k.

It would be great if you could let me know your thoughts on this.
