No, I like btrfs, but as far as I know Plan 9 doesn't support it.

Okay, thanks, I've been using p9p to play around with acme and such on
linux, but I didn't know it could do this.

Hm, I don't think so. Maybe external drive was the wrong term, what I
have is actually just a little enclosure thing that I pop a normal
3.5" drive into and power on, which then has a USB port.

Thanks, I'll have a look at replica.

Interesting. Incidentally I've been wondering what the status of Go on
Plan 9 is lately. cat-v.org tells me "Status: Being integrated with
mainline", but they haven't updated in a couple weeks and I can't seem
to find much other info.
