[9fans] fossil woe

[Bruce Ellis <bruce.ellis@gmail.com>]

I was copying a chunk of data from one machine to another
(both fossil+venti).  The target machine has a huge venti store.

Don't try this at home.  The fossil "filled up" and the machine
died badly, wouldn't even reboot.  So fossil apparently is not a cache.

cache.c:698:  * BUG: if the disk is full, should we flush some of it to Venti?

Now I've "rescued" the machine by booting from floppy, creating
partitions the same size as fossil and arena, copying them and
reinstalling.

Things groove along again, as long as I don't consider fossil to
be a cache, but I'd like some data from the saved arena
(screw the cached stuff).  So all I need is a score.  I seem to
recall methods of scrounging for scores but can't find anything
in my searches.  I would appreciate any help.
