I imagine that you would get problems with duplicates. You could duplicate enough of the caches and internal structures that it would work, but then you would be close to having two instances of venti anyway. But maybe, if you removed the assumption that there are no duplicates, and changed venti to just index the first instance of a score/value pair.

i have my old work archives and rather than merge that venti into my main one i could just mount it via vacfs on demand (from 9fs). but can one venti cope with two incompatible sets of arenas?

Strictly speaking, isn't venti just content-addressable block storage, not a file system? Anyway, I'm curious to know what you are going to use this for.

I guess the alternative is to run two seperate instances.
