[9fans] nventi becomes venti

[9fans] nventi becomes venti

[geoff]

I'm about to change the distribution on sources to use
nventi instead of venti.  nventi's venti server now
takes all the options that venti's did (-w was the only
missing one), so the operational change should ideally be
transparent, but be aware that it's happening.

Programs that haven't been converted to the new venti library
should include <oventi.h>; these include fossil, vac and vacfs.

how stable is the new venti on plan9? how tested?

we tried it here about a year ago on a 1.7TB single raided partition
and for two weeks it wasn't able to stay up for more than 24 hours...

We've been running nventi all summer on what is now our main
fileserver, yoshimi, and our outside file server.  Russ fixed the
bug(s) that you encountered; we hit them too initially.  (He also
fixed a deadlock in fossil that could happen under moderate load, such
as rm -r of a large tree in /n/other.) Nventi works (as does fossil).

Nice. We'll use it here too.
