Hi! As in the subject, and see the attached QEMU screenshot. Has something been changed in the boot process ("startup" is new; Justus CCed ;-) just in case) that would cause this non-root filesystem to be mounted that early, so that e2fsck can't then process it anymore? "Eri

I'd call that a bug in e2fsck. Empty symlinks used to be creatable and work on GNU/Linux as well. It would be fine to disallow them, however. ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd

Hi, I created an empty symlink on an ext2 filesystem while I was in GNU/Hurd. Later on that partitions was checked by e2fsck (in GNU/Linux) and when it encountered that symlink, it reported a filesystem inconsistency, which I had to repair manually. That doesn't seem so sane to me, e

Hi, First: I apologize for being dumb. I completely misunderstood how this is supposed to work. Now that I understood, I don't disagree with the problem message anymore. However, I think my result is partly the result of mke2fs -o hurd setting the filetype feature on linux. Ted, can you make the
