Could sparse files be an issue?  Bloom always shows up wrong when I restart.

Nope... Didn't make a difference it seems.

I recreated my venti setup, and it starts ok.  I do a vac and an unvac, then kill it and restart and get the following:

% venti/venti
2010/1116 20:44:14 venti: conf...2010/1116 20:44:14 err 4: read /Users/dave/venti/disks/bloom offset 0x0 count 65536 buf 3800000 returned 65536: No such file or directory
venti/venti: can't load bloom filter: read /Users/dave/venti/disks/bloom offset 0x0 count 65536 buf 3800000 returned 65536: No such file or directory 

bloom is definitely there though... Not sure what the no such file or directory is referring to just yet.

I'll try without the bloom filter.
