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
