Every single part of this is wrong.

- You generally don't want the configuration in a venti.conf file. You
want it inside of one of the venti partitions, which have space reserved
for it. The venti/conf tool is good for this.
- venti configuration files have no `root` command.
- they also have no `log` command.
- They also _REQUIRE_ an index!
- and, generally, an address on which to listen :P
- arenas are not files in /srv, they're partitions, typically e.g.
/dev/sdE0/arena, or /dev/sdN0/arena, or some such, on a SATA or NVMe
device, or flash drive, or SD card, or... you know, some kind of real
storage.
- venti has no internal capacity for mirroring between arenas.
- venti/fmt is not a command. In fact, the need to manually format each
partition of a venti system manually is documented as a bug in the venti
manual page! While venti/fmtindex does point to the config file, it
cannot be run until after the index sections have been manually
formatted!
- `venti` is not the command to run venti; `venti/venti` is.
- `for block in` is not legal rc syntax; that script is not legitimate.
- You can't just... what? No. Just, no. You cannot manually copy a block
from one arena to another by treating arenas as folders, that's
incoherent. Partitions are FILES. The OS / disk drivers have no
conception of what data venti is storing within!

This is very blatantly generated by a spambot. That behavior is not
acceptable within this community. Please refrain from doing this again.
