There is "mount", but there is no "umount" Well, there is no real "mount" in the Hurd. Instead it is a small shell script that simulates what the traditionial "mount" does by using settrans to set an active translator like settrans -a /mnt /hurd/ext2fs --readonly /dev/hd1s3 to mount the ext2fs filesystem /dev/hd1s3 on mount-point /mnt readonly. It's just there to make UNIX users feel more at home. In principle we could simulate "umount" too, although it is not really necessay. Do you really want it? "mount --help" doesn't work Patches to make it work would be welcome :-). "su root" from the login prompt sets $HOME to /etc/login instead of /root The Hurd's "su" behaves a little different from the traditional su. Instead of starting a new shell, it just frobs the credentials of the old shell. There is nothing else that changes, which means that after a "su" you can use the command line history as before :-).
