After a bit of irc discussion, here is another way of expressing the idea. The action of mounting a fs is intricated with the action of checking it beforehand, that's what I'd like to express in some way. Fstab does that on usual unices. The hurdish way of mounting is rather setting a translator, so I'd rather see checking being done at translator setting time. A manual settrans -a /foo /hurd/ext2fs /dev/bar should probably not start a check, but usual "administrative" passive translators should (on system startup, not just when first accessed).
Side note: fstab could be generated just for human information through some way (a translator or better as a mere administrative script). Regards, Samuel _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
