true, but ...
is disk space your most constrained resource?
is a free byte on disk wasted or not?
i bought the smallest practical disks to use in
a raid5, and still have this ratio of used to free
wmax = 1787567 0+ 0%
wsize = 183143631 1+ 0%
so plan 9 has really miniscule requirements. and
both venti and cwfs can add storage on an add-needed basis.
so you don't need to "waste" more than a 1gb at a time.
(probablly <= 1/4 the amount of ram you have in your
machine :-)
i'd probablly just devote 32gb to the 9vx and be done
with it. it's taken me 7 years to fill up the first 13.
