Came back after the weekend any my Plan 9 cluster is down.
The front end says this many times:
cacheAllocBlock wrap 609408
cacheAllocBlock: xxx1 disk is full
cacheAllocBlock wrap 609408
cacheAllocBlock wrap 609408
cacheAllocBlock: xxx1 disk is full
.
.
.
.
boot: /386/init: '/386/init' disk is full
panic blah blah blah
ok, the disk is full, can't boot, can't get in to fix it. Any options here
or am I totally screwed?
Are these fossil or Venti errors? I would look but my Plan 9 machine is
.... well, you guessed it.

yes I did.

Don't have the latest venti score. I'm screwed, right?
I think we add to the list or things to do:
- don't let this happen to users
:-)

it's a fossil error... did you have any snaptimes set up? that keeps
the size of the fossil partition under control...
if you have the latest venti score just boot from a cdrom, start venti
and reinitialize the fossil with fossil/flfmt -v score /dev/.../fossil.
ucalgary doesn't go beyond this size at all:

cant you boot from a cd and then use a fossil
to drop some (temporary) snapshots?

Isn't it stored on disk somewhere?
If not we should copy it to 9fat: periodically, or something.

IIRC, yes, it is. Russ posted some utilities a while back that
will grub around in the fossil partition for the most recent
score. search for lastfossil on google groups.

reminds me of some f/s vulcan (?) at SRC. it
filled up once and it created a _file_ of things
NOT to delete. given there was no space to
create the file, the zero length file got
deletion of everything going in full swing.
you gotta think about this f/s stuff ...
