I use fossil and venti with everything mirrored with fs(3) - each partition.
Hi!
An alternate configuration, which takes more memory, but might offer
a bit more in the way of survivability, would be to not use fs for venti.
Instead,
run one venti daemon per disk, with independent arenas/indexes. Insert a little
Venti proxy between fossil and your daemons; it should try reads on each
venti until one returns a block; it should issue writes to all of them.
Good luck,
