This is interesting, thank you for the report. When you say that you are running it as a normal user, does the normal user have access to the device or are you using a file store? I am also interested in seeing exactly what commands you executed and what the geometry of the drive is. Also, have you tried Parted under GNU/Linux? If so, what kind of results are you getting. Finally, could you give a more detailed explanation of what crashing GNU Mach means: are you brought to ddb, are any errors sent to the console? > What is so special about parted that it brings down gnumach to its knees so > easily? What interfaces in the Hurd and GNU Mach are used by parted, and in > what way? It seems there is something unusual that really disturbs > it. Parted only uses the store interface; nothing terribly special. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
