- <teythoon> is there a libnetfs based translator that supports passive
- translators?
- <youpi> I don't see any at the top of my head, only with active ones such
- as hostmux
- <teythoon> I suspected as much since as far as I can tell libnetfs lacks
- some bits to make that even work
- <braunr> teythoon: the problem with passive translators is persistence
- <braunr> well, it's easy to store volatile passive translators in a
- libnetfs server
- <braunr> but usually, there is no backing store for them
- <braunr> ext2fs is the only one actually providing space to store their
- command line
- <teythoon> sure, but at least file_get_translator needs to work so that
- procfs can serve a mounts node
- <braunr> silly idea but
- <braunr> don't you want to directly add it to the procfs translator ?
- <teythoon> no, I think it's useful on its own
- <braunr> ok
- <braunr> then you may need to add the required support
- <teythoon> it even doubles as normal command line tool
- <teythoon> yes, I almost got it... or so I hope ;)
- <braunr> ok
- <teythoon> also, netfs_get_translator exists, so not supporting that feels
- like a bug to me
- <teythoon> could also be useful for a potential devfs translator
- <braunr> yes
-
- <teythoon> uh, the code duplication in lib*fs is really bad :/
- <teythoon> the code is mostly similar, though they have diverged and many
- little things are different so diffing them is very noisy
- <teythoon> stuff like file names or identifiers
- <teythoon> and I cannot figure out why my shiny passive translators are not
- started :/
- <teythoon> % showtrans tmp/mounts
- <teythoon> /hurd/mtab.fixed /
- <teythoon> % wc --bytes tmp/mounts
- <teythoon> 0 tmp/mounts
- <teythoon> and no mtab translator around either
