I don't see that there is anywhere that explicitly states that the
translator connection protocol requires holding the underlying node send
right in order to stay attached as the active translator on that node. Nor
is there an unavoidable need for that requirement. The parent filesystem

Yes, with this patch tmpfs is running now.

I had been experiencing severe problems too. Then I tried to compile
tmpfs from fresh Hurd source and it seemed to be work nice.

Using tmpfs as an active translator, its behaviour is different on my
machine: A tmpfs process is running, but the underlying node does not
get translated into a directory.
According to `manual bootstrapping a translator' of Neal Walfield I
started a gdb session on tmpfs. For instance, i tried to
When testing a translator, always use `settrans -a' on a node with no
passive translator, so you are starting up the translator explicitly. If
it dies, you don't want to have a passive translator setting that would
make it get restarted without your noticing. That said, just use gdb on
tmpfs and
Hi,
when using the tmpfs translator of the Debian hurd package of
2001 Nov 5, I experience problems. I set a translator to a local
directory ./tmp by running `settrans ./tmp /hurd/tmpfs 1MB'; I am able
to create files within that fs, but they are not visible anymore, if I
enter the directory a se
