<diegonc>oh no, I had a commit reverted. the master branch goes down up to 0 :( well I guess that is a coreutils issue after glibc is fixed
<jab>morning friends!
<Alicia>good morning jab
<jab>top of the morning to you!
<jab>if you want some morning motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XminlVhLma4
<jab>The terminator vs. Jesus: The greatest action story ever told!
<rcttts>hello, is there a separate channel for debian-hurd?
<Pellescours>I noticed that mtab set the program_invocation_name for the type. I want to add a "type" field in libdiskfs (and have fs translators setting this field, like "ext2" or "fat"), to expose it I think it needs a new RPC/routine `fs_get_type`, like linux does. But how flexible can be the message? I want to know if it’s possible to add fields in the future or if it should not change in time.
<bjc>to me, the type of the mount *is* the translator
<Pellescours>no, the translator is ext2fs, but the filesystem type is just ext2
<Pellescours>and currently it’s the whole program name that is provided (so it can be /hurd/ext2fs)
<bjc>what file system type is a bind mount?
