Russ tells me that one can run a fossil filesystem with just a write
buffer and no venti backing store to get the effect of the `other'
file system on Ken's file server.  So if you have a normal fossil
`main' file system using venti as backing store and an `other' file
system without venti backing store, you can put your /mail or
/mail/box on `other' and bind -c it over /mail or /mail/box
respectively in /lib/namespace.local, and you've got the effect you
want, if I understand you correctly.
