Re: Latest ext2fs Failure
*sigh* I might as well chime in with my experiences.
Got hurd_19991004. Ran mke2fs on all relevant partitions, using -o
hurd for the root. Installed according to the Easy Guide. Did
mkdir /jtobey
settrans /jtobey /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd0s6
chown jtobey /jtobey
Now as user jtobey I get:
$ cd /jtobey
cd: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Translator died
But root and another non-root user can cd with no problem. This does
not appear to be related to ownership or the name of /jtobey; it also
affects /install which is another ext2fs partition owned by root.
However, jtobey *can* cd into /linux, which has the --readonly option
and is on a primary partition.
The only things I can think of are jtobey's uid (500, below the normal
user range) and the fact that my home dir is nfs-mounted. I can list
and modify the directory, I just can't cd into it from the shell.
