Hello,
I'm looking for advice on how to build a small network of two file
servers. I'm hoping most servers to be Plan9, clients are Windows and

I have 2 houses separated by about 40ms of network latency. I want to
set some servers in each location and have all data accessible from
anywh

note that neither of these are RAID in the way most people expect. failure
