This doesn't sound logical to me. > At a fast glance, I can see interesting calls like: > > ext2fs_mkdir > ext2fs_file_open > ext2fs_file_get_size > ext2fs_file_lseek > ext2fs_file_read Ext2fs doesn't have a mkdir like function. It is all in libdiskfs. See ext2fs/dir.c to find out how it works. Same for most other functions you talk about. file_read doesn't exists for example. What libdiskfs does is using the file pager to read the file contents. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
