I'm not disagreeing that this is supposed to happen, and I hate saying it's wrong, but it's not what I'm seeing, and I don't see anything invalid in my configuration. I can snap -a, and it won't go to venti. I ran snapclean and nothing went down. After that, I changed the snaptime so that it would run a Venti dump in 5 minutes. 10 minutes later, I see no difference. So I'm either missing something fundamental here, something's really broken, or I'm just dumb. I'm willing to concede the latter of the 3, but it would be really nice to be enlightened. Is there anything I can show you guys to help diagnose the issue further? > Martin -dho
