Subject: [9fans] Petabytes on a budget: JBODs + Linux + JFS
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2009 17:53:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1252025598.16936.5364.camel@work.SFBay.Sun.COM> (raw)

"None of those technologies [NFS, iSCSI, FC] scales as cheaply,
reliably, goes as big, nor can be managed as easily as stand-alone pods
with their own IP address waiting for requests on HTTPS."

Apart from the obvious comment that I swear I used a quote like that
to justify 9P more than once, I'm very curious to know how Plan9
would perform on such a box.

Erik, do you have any comments?

Thanks,
Roman.
