>From the following description of the "magic" hurd server: (http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-doc-server#magic) "He [Thomas Bushnell] also kindly explained a particular behavior that usually puzzles normal end users when they first encounter it: The inability to "ls /dev/fd" is because the translator doesn't know what file descriptors you have open, so it can't tell you which ones exist. But the behavior of it is exactly as on other systems." (/dev/fd has something to do with filedescriptors, I thought at first it was the floppy device :) use 'find . -path '/dev' -prune' to keep find from trying to read /dev/fd or any other problematic file (or should I say translator).
