(and i think the op didn't think to specify that it store to disk.) in fact there aren't any in-kernel file storage file systems in plan 9. unless you count ken's file server, which is not really in kernel, it IS the kernel. it also isn't on the same box as a kernel you're talking about. the simplist file on disk is likely fat, followed by kfs. simple sadly is not a synonym for nice. :-) - erik
