Hi, a coupla weeks ago I tried reinstalling the Hurd (from the packages) because earlier I had experienced problems with filesystem corruption and didn't have much time to play around with that. This time what I attempted is installing it on a UFS partition (granted all the problems with ext2fs). The partition was created using a FreeBSD fixme disk and the installation was done with the latest cross-install from linux. Everything so far went fine, except when I tried to boot the Hurd for the first time. GNUmach booted smothly and the partition was mounted (the ufs.static server ran without errors) but the system completely hung (no error messages) right after the startup of the exec server. This leads me to the question: is UFS a currently a viable alternative to ext2fs under the Hurd? Also, judging from what has been said on this list lately ext2fs is in better shape then before, should I try again with an ext2fs partition? And in the extreme case that neither one works what is the best way to avoid filesystem corruption? (I remember someone tried to do all the disk intensive operations on an NFS mounted partition.)
Thanks in advance. Igor
