Subject: [9fans] Regarding venti block size
Topicbox-Message-UUID: a148532c-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hello All,

I want to store some big files on venti.  size range around 200MB.  Is
there any way to do this?

This is what I get when I try to store files of size around 300KB :
"write: input too big: max block size is 57344"

I was wondering may be if increase the block size in arena partition
this can be done. so I tried to format arena with block size 200M but
it gave the error below.

"anoop@allatoona:/usr/local/plan9/bin$ venti/fmtarenas -a 3800M -b
200M  arenas0. /dev/sda6 &
[1] 32604
anoop@allatoona:/usr/local/plan9/bin$ block size too large, max 65536"

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,
Anoop
