actually, there's another half day of the conference, but
that's a minor point.
the paper was, indeed, well received.

Very interesting to read. Will its source code be open ? Is it
legal to reimplement this from scratch, e.g., in Linux ?

For those of you interested in the direction we are heading
with respect to plan 9's file system, you might want to
checkout our paper on Venti that will appear in the
USENIX fast conference.

Venti is a block level storage server that replaces the optical
juke box for a plan 9 file system. Some of the benefits include:
coalescing of duplicate blocks
compression
no block fragmentation
Also, we have switched from optical to magnetic disks as the storage
technology. I know many of you already use magnetic disks to
"fake" a worm, but for those of us using a optical juke box,
the performance improvement is rather substantial!!
