Hi! I realize I hadn’t responded to Manolis. Another +1 from me!

I think an ideal situation would be if libc provides ‘mount’ and ‘umount’, with MS_BIND implemented in terms of firmlinks. I remember Roland was not thrilled with the idea of adding ‘mount’ and ‘umount’, but it would clearly help porting. I don’t know if this task should be part of the GSoC project though, and you may need guidance from the Hurd folks.
