Subject: [9fans] Migration of vac score to fossil

I have a file server running Linux at home, with a normal ext3 file system
and a plan9port venti. I use this venti for vac backup of both the ext3
file system and other Linux boxes. However, the 2 TB ext3 is running out of
space, while the venti is roughly 50% full. I could just buy a bigger disk,
of course, but the exit3 itself is mainly an archive (pictures, video, and
many years of accumulated documents and software), so I consider switching
to a fossil+venti file server instead. The fossil manual says "The score
should have been generated by fossil rather than by vac, so that the
appropriate snapshot metadata is present". Is there any way of coercing
fossil to initialize itself properly from a score produced by vac? I could
copy the files from ext3, but would likely run out of space in fossil,
which I gather is a bad idea. I run a 9front cwfs auth/cpu/file server, but
have no experience with fossil, so any help is welcome.
