-What we need is a [[ReleaseHome]] page and to expand the system so that a chronological set of all releases from all the different distributions can be seen, but that's for another day. The [[HurdReleaseForm]] is in place already, it just needs to be updated with the other folks who are releasing distros. The hard part is to get the info that a particular distro is released on a particular date. Creating new Notes page is also a manual process due to the TWiki searches and comment box that need to be added to each one. Right now, I'm the only one who knows how or seems to have tried.

+
+If you get the error \`bad hypermeta data' when trying to mount an ext3 partition from GNU/Linux, that is usually because the file system has not been unmonted cleanly (maybe GNU/Linux got suspended to disk) and the Hurd cannot mount it as ext2 without checking. Either boot back into GNU/Linux remount it once or you can try to run "fsck.ext3" from GNU/Hurd directly.

+
+    <azeem-uni> so, is there a way to use a Debian GNU/Hurd partition (/dev/hda6) with qemu directly?
+    <tschwinge> Don't dare to do that, please.
+    <tschwinge> It will lead to inconsistencies.
+    <tschwinge> Because the Linux kernel thinks that it has complete control over the disk, or something.
+    <tschwinge> In theory you could run something like ``-hda /dev/hda'', having GRUB installed on there to offer you to boot your Hurd system from hda6 and that will even work, but then don't get the idea to stop qemu, mount that partition on your Linux system and restart qemu.  That's where I got lots of inconsistencies then, afterwards.
+    <azeem-uni> it's probably the same problem as having that partition mounted, suspending to disk, booting into it in the Hurd, and resume Linux
+    <neal> right
+    <tschwinge> That's a different problem.
+    <tschwinge> Then the partitoon is still mounted.
+    <neal> no, I think it is basically the same problem
+    <tschwinge> The file system stuff is cached in the kernel.
+    <neal> you have data that has not been written to disk yet
+    <tschwinge> Right.
+    <neal> and neither is prepared for the resource to be shared
+    <tschwinge> In the azeem-uni scenarion the data is on the file system layer and in my scenarion it's some disk block caching inside the Linux kernel, I guess.
+    <azeem-uni> anyway, do you guys think if I use -hda /dev/hda and tell Grub to boot off /dev/hda6, that the rest of hda should be fine, right?
+    <azeem-uni> maybe adding -snapshot makes it totally safe

 This is a very common question. Many people have problems with the partition limit on Ext2 filesystems being very small by current standards.
