Hi, I think I have figured out a simple way to boot hurd with stowfs enabing us to use stowfs. This would solve the unionfs-exec server cyclic dependedency problem.
We can give the comeplete path for gnumach, ld.so.1 and exec (like /stow/gnumach--ams--1.3pre21/boot/gnumach instead of current /boot/gnumach ) to grub. The only issue I forsee is need to update grub configuration for each of gnumach, glibc and hurd upates (the longer path in the conf file is a minor issue I think). I think grub has to load unionfs (stowfs) also. ams, Can we try this with a stow only snapshot? I have tried it with your last snapshot and it works.
