"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.
