Thankyou for your response;  just to clarify: you're saying that I need to
edit the venti source and recompile in order to fix the problem described?

One thing that's weird and vexing though, is that this problem
seems to have come out of nowhere (I had successfully installed and
reinstalled on this machine about a dozen times over the past few days,
each time using the same process/steps) - and now it doesn't go away,
even on a completely fresh install, even after I wiped the drives completely.

Now, every time I install plan 9 on this machine, even when I don't change
the clock or timezone in any way, it ends up with this issue where venti
complains about 'arenas00: header is out-of-date', then indexes clumps,
then starts rolling out those 'creation time after last write time' messages.
I have confirmed and verified this continues even after multiple attempts
at a 100% prestine re-install.

Any ideas what could be the cause?  I wouldn't care quite so much if it was
just some sort of fluke that was remedied after another clean install - but
it's persisting even after I totally wipe the drive (using dd and shred from
a linux recovery disk), delete the partition table, and start from scratch.


Any advice/suggestions is appreciated.
