You can port it if you want. Plan9port tries to integrate well with the host operating system. Part of that means using the same file tree, and the host OS cannot talk to fossil. There is disk code that knows how to read Plan 9 partition tables. The venti server uses it to let you write /dev/sdC0:arenas. Russ
