There's a difference between arenas and
arena partitions.  There's no reason not to
use a single big arena partition:

--rw-r----- S 0 rsc rsc 16727702528 Mar 25 21:54 /dev/sdC0/v.arenas

Internally, Venti will chop it into smallish
arenas in units suitable for backup to tape
or CD-ROM.  The default is 500MB.  If you 
are planning to back up to CD-ROM you might
want to use 650MB or so.
