<Darelelve>Hello everyone! Is there a simple way to call the file_get_storage_info function in the translator? I've extended partfs functionality to work with multiple disks and their partitions and would like to test that this function is working correctly. I know about the fsys_getroot method, but is there something simpler?
<Darelelve>We're talking about regular work, not the bootstrap stage.
<jab>youpi: You said that you are not interesting in crypto...are you interested in helping me eat? Because getting that grant would help me to pay my bills. :) If the answer is still no, just ignore this gentle nudge. I'll get the hint.

<rsmarples>i still don't have a working hurd vm (been distracted), but i do i have question for the peanut gallery :)
<rsmarples>why does hurd #define BSD?
<rsmarples>and can it please stop doing it?
<sam_>i don't think it does, does it?
<sam_>can you show?
<sam_>$ echo '' | i686-gnu-gcc -x c -E -dM -cpp - | grep BSD ; echo $?
<sam_>1
<rsmarples>sam_: it's in reference to this patch I'm looking at
<rsmarples> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2026-04/msg00070.html
<rsmarples>there is a lot if #if defined(BSD) && !defined(__GNU__)
<sam_>my guess is their configure patches add -DBSD because it's convenient or something instead
<sam_>(I don't think it's a fundamental Hurd thing)
<rsmarples>the patches listed in that thread don't do that though
<rsmarples>ok, I guess I need a hurd VM at this point to progress it
<sam_>right, i skimmed and can't spot it either
<bjc>oh man, i took a crack at that and failed
<bjc>nice
