Native plan9 still booting fine, and here's the configuration for /dev/sdE0/fossil if it's of any relevance: fsys main config /dev/sdE0/fossil fsys main open -V -c 3000 Also, so far only /dev/sda was rw for disk group so I've set /dev/sda1 (which is the whole plan9 partition) to rw as well for disk group, to no avail.
