Why is it possible to do: tatyana:/mnt# cat /mnt/floppy/ .8..tatyana:/mnt# Where /mnt/floppy is a normal directory with no translator. Once the translator is set cat does what it should though, eg: tatyana:/mnt# settrans hello/ /hurd/hello tatyana:/mnt# cat hello Hello, world! tatyana:/mnt# John Leuner
