Are you suffering from an off by one error? you removed isect1 and then built the index on isect1 only, this sounds wrong. I would suggest you try again from scratch. Reformat your both your indexes and your bloom filter and then reinitialise your fossil using a venti.conf of: index main isect /apollo/hugo/isect0 isect /apollo/hugo/isect1 arenas /apollo/hugo/arenas0 arenas /apollo/hugo/arenas1 i.e. venti/fmtisect isect1 /dev/sdC0/isect1 venti/fmtisect isect2 /dev/sdC0/isect2 venti/fmtbloom /dev/sdC0/bloom venti/fmtindex venti.conf fossil/flfmt -v 87237...2345345 /dev/sdC0/fossil I think your problems where due to you using old isect1 which was formatted to think there was only one index whilst your venti.conf said there where two. I don't see how any of the above could damage your arenas0 however do take care and check what I have said carefully, I don't want to be responsible for you losing data. Also beware, I don't use p9p so these instructions relate to what I would do on native plan9. I don't believe there is any difference these days but I cannot be sure. Caveat Emptor. -Steve
