Subject: [9fans] fossil+plan9: disk full revisited
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 01:24:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871wnw49bk.fsf@jorgito.magma.com.ni> (raw)
Hello!
It seems that this year I am the one who stumbled over the infamous
"cacheAllocBlock: xxx1 disk is full" situation. No problem: I
formatted and started over :-0
The setup is a 100GB plan9 partition with about 14GB fossil and the
rest venti, set up for confidence and performance tests of
Plan9/fossil+venti in order to evaluate it for production use as a
fileserver in the internal network at my work, with some Linux and a
lot of Windows users.
For a start, I copied a disk image with about 18GB from a Linux server
with u9fs to the Plan9 file server, which obviously choked fossil.
Two questions:
- Would it help to write blocks to venti and free them on fossil, if a
snapshot is taken in the middle of a transfer of one file bigger
than the whole fossil partition?
- How much would fossil have to be altered, to make it automatically
write blocks to venti when only a certain amount of blocks is free
anymore.
While timed snapshots are really a nice thing for archiving, this
feature maybe would make fossil+venti practically maintenance free.
Regards,
Jorge-León
