Came back after the weekend any my Plan 9 cluster is down.
The front end says this many times:
cacheAllocBlock wrap 609408
cacheAllocBlock: xxx1 disk is full
cacheAllocBlock wrap 609408
cacheAllocBlock wrap 609408
cacheAllocBlock: xxx1 disk is full
.
.
.
.
boot: /386/init: '/386/init' disk is full
panic blah blah blah
ok, the disk is full, can't boot, can't get in to fix it. Any options here
or am I totally screwed?
Are these fossil or Venti errors? I would look but my Plan 9 machine is
.... well, you guessed it.

it's a fossil error... did you have any snaptimes set up? that keeps
the size of the fossil partition under control...
if you have the latest venti score just boot from a cdrom, start venti
and reinitialize the fossil with fossil/flfmt -v score /dev/.../fossil.
ucalgary doesn't go beyond this size at all:
plan9# uptime

plan9# con -l /srv/fscons

Don't have the latest venti score. I'm screwed, right?
I think we add to the list or things to do:
- don't let this happen to users
:-)

Isn't it stored on disk somewhere?
If not we should copy it to 9fat: periodically, or something.

IIRC, yes, it is. Russ posted some utilities a while back that
will grub around in the fossil partition for the most recent
score. search for lastfossil on google groups.

cant you boot from a cd and then use a fossil
to drop some (temporary) snapshots?
