Indeed!

su# disk/prep /dev/sdE0/plan9
  9fat                     0 204800        (204800 sectors, 100.00 MB)
  nvram               204800 204801        (1 sectors, 512 B )
  fossil              204801 389668226     (389463425 sectors, 185.71 GB)
  swap             389668226 390716802     (1048576 sectors, 512.00 MB)
  empty            390716802 3907024002    (3516307200 sectors, 1.63 TB)

Can I grow fossil on the fly? Why did prep create a 512MB swap
partition when I have 2GB RAM?
