VENTI.CONF(6)                    Games Manual                    VENTI.CONF(6)



NAME
       venti.conf  - a venti configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       A  venti  configuration  file enumerates the various index sections and
       arenas that constitute a venti system.  The components are indicated by
       the name of the file, typically a disk partition, in which they reside.
       The configuration file is the only location that file names  are  used.
       Internally, venti uses the names assigned when the components were for‐
       matted with fmtarenas or fmtisect (see venti-fmt(8)).   In  particular,
       by  changing the configuration a component can be copied to a different
       file.

       The configuration file consists of lines in the form  described  below.
       Lines starting with # are comments.

       index name
              Names the index for the system.

       arenas file
              File contains a collection of arenas, formatted using fmtarenas.

       isect file
              File contains an index section, formatted using fmtisect.

       After formatting a venti system using fmtindex, the order of arenas and
       index sections should not be changed.  Additional  arenas  can  be  ap‐
       pended to the configuration.

       The  configuration  file  optionally holds configuration parameters for
       the venti server itself.  These are:

       mem cachesize

       bcmem blockcachesize

       icmem indexcachesize

       addr ventiaddress

       httpaddr httpaddress

       queuewrites
              See venti(8) for descriptions of these variables.

EXAMPLE
       # a sample venti configuration file
       #
       # formatted with
       #    venti/fmtarenas arena. /tmp/disks/arenas
       #    venti/fmtisect isect0 /tmp/disks/isect0
       #    venti/fmtisect isect1 /tmp/disks/isect1
       #    venti/fmtindex venti.conf
       #
       # server is started with
       #    venti/venti

       # the name of the index
       index main

       # the index sections
       isect /tmp/disks/isect0
       isect /tmp/disks/isect1

       # the arenas
       arenas /tmp/disks/arenas
