Let's say your disk is named sdE1 and have a Plan 9 partition named "fossil".

% fossil/fossil -m 20 -f /dev/sdE1/fossil -c 'srv -AWPV fossil.other'
-c 'srv -p fscons.other'

Then, you can mount it:

% mount /srv/fossil.other /n/fossil

And to halt it:

% echo fsys all sync >>/srv/fscons.other
% echo fsys all halt >>/srv/fscons.other
