For the OP's purposes (sharing an fs between Plan 9 and Linux), this
might actually be tenable. The fossil console is typically used for
administrative tasks, not generally during routine use (i.e., just
storing and reading back files). If the OP's needs for fossilcons can
wait until he's at a P9 box, it might be a practical setup... at least
until the console is ported.
