Subject: [9fans] Hardware for Plan9

Hi,

I am new to Plan9. After testing Plan9 in Xen on NetBSD I want to
create a native Plan9 fileserver on it's own hardware. I would like
to
ask about the recommended hardware for doing that? The fileserver
is
for about 5 users and 500 GB of data.

Which disk controller should I use for best performance and
driver support?

AHCI based:
SB600
IHC9
Jmicron JMB363 (supported?)

Marvel based:
Marvell 88SX6081

For network cards the intel gbe cards seems to be the best?

Which CPU should I use? Can Plan9 use multicore processors?
Is it right that Plan9 runs in 32 bit modus (no need for a 64 bit
processor)?

How much memory should I put in the fileserver maschine?

If possible I would like to ask which hardware the other Plan9 user
are using.

Regards,
Wolfgang
