I guess SSI isn't the right term for Plan 9 clustering since not
everything is shared, although I would still say it has some aspects
of SSI. I was talking about systems that try to make a cluster look
like a single machine in some way even if they don't share everything
(I'm not sure if there's a better term for such systems besides the
rather vague "distributed" which could mean anything from full SSI to
systems that allow transparent access to services/devices on other
machines without trying to make a cluster look like a single system).
