One more attempt: I'd be glad to know if I am heading into the right  =

direction:
* I added
	venti=3D/dev/sdC1/arenas
to my plan9.ini, and now it started up without error messages. From  =

/dev/kmesg I read, after entering my user name:
	time...
	venti...err 2: arenas creation time after last write time
	fossil(#S/sdC1/fossil)...version...time...
	=

	init: starting /bin/rc
	ndb/dns: can't read my ip address
and then I could start my normal session. There is a huge disc activity =
 =

now: is it syncing the arenas with the fossil? Am I getting something  =

right? :)
