This is... strictly better, I suppose. New list of mistakes:
- The usage of venti/conf is incorrect. Frankly, I don't know why you'd
even be showing instructions for configuring a venti when the question
was about mirroring capabilities for an existing venti, as I understand
it? It's both irrelevant and incorrect.
- That configuration remains invalid, even if you happen to have both a
SATA and NVMe drive. I gave those two drive paths as examples, if you
just copy them you're _going_ to lose data lol.
- The `index` command actually NAMES the index. This is, quite
honestly, incredible stupid on venti's part, but you actually need a set
of `isect /path/to/indexsection` directives, then an `index [name]`
directive which creates an index across those sections.
- Also, the directive listing an arenas partition is `arenas`, _not_
`arena`, because venti does not use the partition as _an_ arena, but as
a large file in which to store _many_ arena_s_.
- Also also, the _design_ of the venti system is just bad. It makes no
sense to put the index on a SATA drive when you have NVMe available in
basically any scenario.
- Assuming an NVMe drive, as in the MNT Reform, which has _already been
partitioned manually_, a reasonable minimal config can look like this,
off the top of my head:
index main
isect /dev/sdN0/index
arenas /dev/sdN0/arenas
but this is not helpful, because giving you that config without telling
you how to partition or format the partitions is as good as sabotage,
since you're _going_ to make a mistake and lose literally all of your
data.
- The formatting commands would create an illegal venti, that would fail
to start up.
> venti/fmtarenas -a 512M arena /dev/sdN0/arena
> venti/fmtarenas -a 512M arena /dev/sdE0/arena
You cannot give both arenas partitions the "arena" name, that makes no
sense.
- The mirroring script is incorrect. It's mirroring the data from the
first SATA drive on to two other SATA drives, _but is not_ mirroring the
data from the NVMe drive at all!
- Morever, the comparison to fs(3) remains entirely incoherent, and
demonstrates a total lack of understanding of both venti and fs(3).
- There is no sufficient distinction made between "redundancy" and
"backup/restoration purposes," such that you're recommending two
distinct modes of backup with no proper argument made for when each one
should be used.
- Worse, wrarena and rdarena are used incorrectly. They don't do what
the spambot thinks they do.
- You're attempting to assert copyright over spambot-generated
"content," which is legally not copyrightable. You do not have any legal
rights over that content, and thus cannot reserve any.
- You have demonstrated a lack of understanding of venti. You have
demonstrated a lack of understanding of Plan 9. Worst, by continuing to
post AI spam after being informed of community standards, you've
demonstrated a lack of respect for this community.
You're wasting other people's time, because other people aren't just
using spam generators to reply to yours. Please stop immediately.
