Hi David :) Quoting da...@4pane.co.uk (2014-08-28 22:23:30) > Running '/hurd/mtab /some/mountpoint/' correctly outputs the mount details. > However trying with a non-mountpoint still emits a result: > > ~:/hurd/mtab /any/dir/ > /dev/hd0s2 /any/dir ext2fs <various options> > > where /dev/hd0s2 is '/'. This is probably not intended behaviour.
Why not? It shows information about the translator the node resides on.

Yes, this is clearly a bug. I'll send some patches shortly. Justus
