Hi,

I have a pile of backups on cdroms taken over the years and I
want to add them into my venti archive.

What I _THINK_ I need to do is copy the dumps, one by one into
my fossil filesystem and then execute:

	9660srv
	mount /srv/srv9660 /n/backup /dev/sdD0/data

	mkdir /tmp/backup
	disk/mkfs -a -s /n/backup /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/allproto |  disk/mkext -u -d /tmp/backup

	echo 'snap -a -s /n/backup/1995-11-21 -d /archive/1995/1121' >> /srv/fscons

	# Wait for all the rattling of the disk to stop

	rm -r /tmp/backup/*

Loading the backups via vac would allow me to strip duplicate files
using the files metadata but that would just leave me with a hex score
and I have not found a way of inserting a score into the active filesystem.

Anyone agree/disagree ?
