>>Or could I use pieces of kfs?
disk/kfs reorders some of the disc structures to allow a choice of
block size on the command line, so you can't use it directly to read
an fs(8) structure.  if you're v keen or desperate, you
can do a variant of kfs that uses the file server's ordering of disc structures,
mainly by reordering structure members and making them static sizes.
it must be a good seven years ago i made the changes (for an older
version of plan 9) and i haven't got the code now.  i can't even remember
what happened that caused me to make the effort.
it can be done, though.
