plan 9 seems to me to be firmly in the fs rather than
the database camp.
before i moved to plan 9, i thought that locate was a
very cool tool. things had gotten mighty hard to find
in linux. since i've moved to plan 9, i just don't have
that problem. even when struck with real desperation
on coraid's worm, a find on main takes not too long:
minooka; cd /n/ila
minooka; time rc -c 'find . | wc'
356164 356164 13987863
1.24u 1.38s 6.65r rc -c find . | wc
