Let me restate my claim: - Using venti for backing up a streaming application is not a good idea. - Contiguous storage areas may be better. - One potential method to provide access to contiguous disk space may be a rich partitioning system, e.g. GPT. - Plan9 does not support the last idea. -- Dipl.-Math.
