I'm still waiting for fossil to settle down.  I haven't yet been able
to shutdown a fossil gracefully (with "fsys sync", a pause, then "fsys
halt") and come back up without any missing blocks.

I've had good experience with Ken's file server, though perhaps the
best part of that is automatic nightly dumps to stable, write-once
optical storage.

I haven't had bad experiences with Linux file systems; I was saying
that I'd be queasy to swap out a Plan 9 kernel and replace it with a
Linux kernel.  I can't see how replacing a relatively small and
well-written kernel with a large and sprawling kernel written by a
cast of hundreds, if not thousands, could improve reliability,
robustness or correctness of the kernel.
