I've kind of come to the realization that I'm not fully certain how
Fossil works. It *seems*, based on things I've read, that Fossil
simply stores new files until they can be written to Venti, at which
point the file is simply replaced by a pointer to the appropriate data
in Venti. Is this right? Does that mean that with my 6 GB fossil disk
and 20 GB Venti, I can actually store a lot more than 6 GB of data
(provided I allow stuff to write to Venti periodically)?
I'd appreciate if someone could clear this up for me.
Thanks
John Floren
