This is the exact scenario I had when I ran fossil + venti with ephemerial snapshots enabled, are you sure you don't have them on? try fossil/conf /dev/sd??/fossil | grep snaptime This is an example of ephemerial snapshots enabled: fsys main snaptime -s 15 -a 0400 -t 3600 and disabled: fsys main snaptime -s none -a 0400 -t none -Steve
