i forgot about gefs. using a clever design rather than mountains of
code is a design philosophy i can appreciate, but its own author says
it's not ready for regular use; "it isn't yet trustworthy." i could
ask him if his opinion has changed in the last 2 years, but honestly,
the name of ori's code hosting is going to bring me down every time
i see it, so i think i'll give it a miss.

reminds/informs me of whats wrong with the other plan 9 filesystems,
and has given me an idea for my backup system.
