read /sys/doc/fs/fs.ps. the worm is not a wayback machine, it is the main storage! however there is a coalescing period of 1 day where changes are kept in the cache prior to being commited to worm. the process of commiting changes to the worm is called the "dump". so, for example, if i changed /rc/bin/P 10 days ago, the current file tree would point to the same storage it did yesterday, and both pointers would be into the worm. - erik
