[9fans] standalone auth/cpu server

[Ish Rattan]

The server has a small hardsik (1.6G) and I want to add a larger
disk. Is there a way to just add the disk and kfs will use it OR
the installation has to be redone using the larger disk?

/sys/src/cmd/disk/kfs provides devmulti.c and the mkfile there can build 8.gfs
which seems to provide concatenated drives, but i don't know what shape it's in.
you'd need to save and restore your existing file system to use it.

you can add the disk and run a seperate instance of kfs serving it. for
example, putting something like this in your cpurc:
	disk/kfs -n alt -f /dev/sd02
will give you kfs on the disk at SCSI ID 2. to the best of my knowledge,
there's no way to make kfs concatenate the disks. the file server can,
but i think that involves re-building your file system.
