-
-Just like in other Unix systems one can, for example, use `fdisk` or `parted`
-to manage hard disks' partition tables.  After doing changes to a disk's
-partition table, the kernel has to be instructed to reinitialize its internal
-data structures: where does a partition begin, where does it end, etc.
-
-With `fdisk` and friends this is done on Linux with the `BLKRRPART` IOCTL,
-which is used to tell the kernel to reread the disk's partition table.
-
-`parted` also uses this interface on Linux, but for GNU Hurd, the corresponding
-function, `libparted/arch/gnu.c (gnu_disk_commit)`, doesn't do anything at all.
-The infrastructure in [[GNU_Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]] is already there,
-`linux/src/drivers/block/ide.c (ide_ioctl) <BLKRRPART>` and
-`linux/src/drivers/scsi/sd_ioctl.c (sd_ioctl) <BLKRRPART>`, but the IOCTL needs
-to be routed from `libparted` through [[hurd/glibc]]'s Hurd IOCTL interface,
-through Hurd's [[hurd/libstore]], to [[GNU_Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]].
-
-This is not a huge project, and actually one that is suitable for someone who
-wants to start with hacking the system.
