coraid's configuration using ken's fs is outlined here
http://www.quanstro.net/plan9/disklessfs.pdf
the one change since the paper has been that the wireless connection
has been replaced by 100Mbit fiber.
my own setup is here

the advantage to such a setup is than when disks do stupid
things, you can take care of the problem without disturbing
the fileserver.
