I was not actually planning on making it that small, I was just curious as to how fossil would react. It was brought about mainly because the wiki states that sources only uses ~512MB for fossil. Which is what got me thinking "well what if it gets full?" > Other things to note: > > - make sure you mirror or backup the venti disk or else you > may lose the only copy of a block! > - try this out on a small scale before you commit to it, as I > suspect you'll run into various limits and may be bugs.

It's just going on my raspberry pi that I can spare (which is why I got it). The disk will be fully backed up, so I'm not worried about it failing for the moment. It will be a week or two before I get the chance to give it a go, but I will certainly report how it goes and what bugs or limits (if any) I trip over.
