Yeah, I know, pull out a sharp knife, and jab real hard... No, really. What's the prescribed way to kill a venti server, safely, without losing data? The approach I've been using on p9p has been:
(1) Wait for venti to stop writing to disk. (2) Send venti SIGTERM. The venti process dies, sure enough, but I later get errors that some blocks haven't been stored. (Whether they weren't stored, or were stored and just failed to get indexed or Bloomed, I don't know.) So, what's the proper way to do this? Is there something like "echo pleasedieimaskingnicely > /tmp/ns.smiley:1/venti.ctl" I can use? -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |Smiley <smi...@icebubble.org> PGP key ID: BC549F8B | |Fingerprint: 9329 DB4A 30F5 6EDA D2BA 3489 DAB7 555A BC54 9F8B| +---------------------------------------------------------------+
