Well that's one dodgy data point for you!

Folks,

One of the things I'm thinkin= g about is setting up a full Plan 9
cluster, meaning one of the c= omponents would be a stand-alone
fileserver hooked up to a decent= amount of storage.

I was wondering what experienc= e people have had with slower or faster
machines in this role?

I was wondering whether or not it'd be feasible = to hook up something
like http://tinyurl.com/jgov5gc (Amazon.com) to something = small like a
Raspberry Pi 3, or if the I/O would be too much for = that kind of
computer to handle.

Does an= yone here run a fileserver on a small computer like a
raspberry p= i 3, or perhaps something like an Intel nuc?

I wou= ldn't be supporting multiple users, just myself moving between
a couple of devices.

Jim
