Subject: [9fans] Change of plan9 partition size

I would be careful with running Venti on a SD card. Venti eats SD cards,
USB sticks and even SSD disks for breakfast, since the index is heavily
modified, and will rot after a while. Your actual data (arenas) will be
fine, though, so you can recover by rebuilding the index somewhere else.
Been there, done that...
