For reference, I set up our current Plan 9 system about half a year
ago. We have 3.8 TB of Venti storage total. We have used 2.8 GB of
that, with basically no precautions taken to set anything +t; in
general, if it's around at 4 a.m., it's going into Venti. I figure we
have roughly another 2,000 years of storage left at the current rate
