fs was removed from the cd but there's a version in /n/sources/extra.

kfs and fs(3) are different fileservers.  you can also use the source in
contrib quanstro/fs.  i run 4 fileservers (plus one for testing)
based on this.  all but one use aoe for storage.  but you can use
ahci or ide disks as well.  you will need to add il back into your
kernel.  (in the contrib package.)
