On my box autoconf fails, complaining about a syntax error. I don't have the knowledge to debug this. At the same time, repartitioning once again has largely improved the situation here. Now I have a 1.2 GB / and a 600 MByter /var partition. The Hurd seems to be much happier with this than with the previous all-in-one installation. At the same time I wonder how I can ensure that non-root partitions are properly unmounted/synced or however you call that on GNU/Hurd. Unless I do "fsysopts /var --readonly" before halting the system, on reboot e2fsck says that it wasn't cleanly unmounted. Shouldn't the Hurd somehow inform all active translators of the shutdown and tell them to sync and let go? Thanks, Johannes
