// Is it possible for me to reconstruct the index section? Yes. See venti-fmt(8). If you want to stop here, you can try checkindex first, and if that doesn't work for you, go to buildindex.
// Will the Venti be able to run without it? No, you need an index. The bloom filter is the only optional (but recommended) component. // ...can the new index section be larger? Yes. You can either replace your old index (required if you've suffered a hardware failure, for example) or build a new index using your old index as a part. (if you've just run out of space). In either case, you'll need to format each index section (fmtisect) and then the index itself (fmtindex) before regerating the index for your currend data log (buildindex). anthony
