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
