Or, of course, just don't run a local file system at all. This is Plan 9,
after all. Using the fs in the basement has worked great for me
throughout. You then free up the RAM that would otherwise be
devoted to the fs (and that's fixed size on the pi). Maybe not
something you can do today if this is your first Plan 9 system,
but worth keeping in mind.

Last night, as part of a few experiments, I connected a 15GB
external spinning HD over USB (with kfs on it). It's funny to see
the actual computer dwarfed by the physical size of the disk.
