hm... setting up an NFS server on the outside is I do not think something which
can/should be done as part of the unit tests. I don't think there is a NFS
server which can be started ad-hoc for any directory by an unprivileged user.
The beauty of 9P was that I don't even have to start a server myself but it's
integrated into QEMU.

How would you normally mount a directory from outside with Hurd as a guest?
Just via NFS? Does SMB work in Hurd (QEMU also does that by itself)?

I could also copy in everything before the test starts and then copy out
everything afterwards but since we are talking a few GB of data that would take
a bit of time. :/

While I have you: I'm currently using mini-httpd to serve a directory as a
local Debian mirror for apt. I saw that mini-httpd does not exist in the Hurd
archives. Is there a small-footprint http server which you'd recommend to use
on Hurd?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
