Finally gave up on devfs -- will think of another way of making sure my
file server survives a disk crash (I'm open to suggestions).
I booted a kernel that doesn't use devfs and the problem with deleting
files went away.
Unfortunately not before it caused some general mayhem and corruption:
plan9% pwd
/usr/andrey/font/efont
plan9% f | wc -l
851
plan9% ls
b12_bi
b16
b24_b
plan9% cd b16
plan9% ls
b16.81F7-8202
plan9% rm *
rm: b16.81F7-8202: 'b16.81F7-8202' corrupted file entry
plan9%
I can't delete those, tried even 'remove' on the fossil console. can't copy
anything over them ('file already exists') either.
I don't think I've had a file system screwed that badly since I removed
/usr on a FreeBSD system when I was a toddler. Good thing is, all those
terrible crashes didn't corrupt any other data and the machine still stands
(sans devfs :)

I lied, it's still there.
Sorry to waste your time so optimistically.

This sounds weird for me. I'll try to reproduce your devfs+9fat
problem here and see if I can fix it.
