+Libdiskfs is the foundational library for building filesystems on the
+Hurd.  The Hurd's current filesystems [[hurd/translator/ext2fs]],
+[[hurd/translator/fatfs]], and [[hurd/translator/iso9660fs]] all use
+it.  Some Hurd developers wish to
+[[merge|open_issues/libnetfs_vs_libdiskfs]] [[hurd/libnetfs]] with
+libdiskfs into one unified library.

+ISO 9660 is a filesystem that was designed to run on optical disks
+like CDs or DVDs (but it can run on USB drives as well).  Many people
+will burn an iso image to disk and then install the Hurd via that CD
+or DVD.  `iso9660fs` is how the Hurd reads those images.
