`The Plan 9 File Server' (in /sys/doc/fs) describes how the pre-fossil
standalone file server stores data on disks.  kfs is a slight variant
of the non-cached-worm file system.  The main change I noticed when
adapting a private copy of kfs to read standalone file systems was
that struct Superb swaps the order of its members, a Super1 and an
Fbuf, to permit the size of the free list in Fbuf to vary with block
size, which can be chosen at run-time in kfs, but which is fixed at
compile-time in the standalone file server.
