The pre-fossil file server isn't entirely obsolete yet.  If one wants
automated, unattended dumps to optical storage, the old file server is
still a good choice, and that's why I'm using it.

I'm considering what it would take to make the jukebox code and
possibly the cached-worm code, in some form, fit sensibly into a cpu
server with venti and fossil on it.  Possibly an ordinary big disk in
front of the jukebox using a mirror device would be enough to supplant
the cached-worm code.
