Are you running your patched server as the root filesystem? > E2FSPROGS > --------- > > e2fsprogs uses Unix API to work with partitions/images.

This adds more work in maintaining e2fsprogs code and is a hack that distracts from the real problem that needs fixing. Anyway, most people create their partitions for GNU from a GNU/Linux system so e2fsprogs shouldn't have much problem. -- Robert Millan _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
