Ugh. Sorry, that idea didn't even occur to me, so I didn't even read it 
that way.

That being said, running 6 chunkserver processes on the same machine 
sounds like a recipe for a trainwreck if you slip up. MFS has some 
'interesting' behaviour when it comes to rebalancing etc, so I'm not 
sure how it would treat those.
