Ognyan is working on this already. You could help by proofreading his patch, testing it, etc. It can be found on his website: http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~ogi/hurd/ext3fs/ But if you have free time and this does not interest you, there are plenty of things that need to be done. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
