This should be done by native-install.

These bugs are in the Hurd or in GNUMach, not in crosshurd.

Thanks for checking this. Did you report this bug?

This is only for the disks (and the partitions on that disk). The
problems are in the filesystems. Most filesystems that use libdiskfs
have this problem. ext2fs, the one you are using is almost fixed
(Ognyan is working on this. iso9660fs and ufs are still broken. And
fatfs does not have this problem but is not finished yet.
