-
-There is no `/etc/mtab` (due to dynamic translator startup, its content is hard
-to define actually, see
-[[the mtab GSoC project idea|community/gsoc/project_ideas/mtab]]),
-so just running `df` will yield the following error.
-
- df: cannot read table of mounted file systems
-
-Pass `df` a path like `df /` or `df ./` to see the disk usage of that particular
-file system.

-The GNU/Hurd does not use SYSV runlevels, so commands like

-
-will not work. Simply use the equivalent shortcuts
-
- # halt
- # reboot
-
-to respectively shutdown and reboot Hurd, provided natively,
-instead of from SYSV runlevels.

-[[!meta title="Why is `/usr' a symbolic link to `.'?"]]
-
-The distinction between `/` and `/usr` has historical reasons. Back when [[Unix]]
-systems were booted from two tapes, a small root tape and a big user tape.
-Today, we like to use different partitions for these two spaces. The Hurd
-throws this historical garbage away. We think that we have found a more
-flexible solution called union filesystems, which allow to create virtual
-filesystems which are the union of several other filesystems. However, support
-for union filesystems is [[still in early development|hurd/translator/unionfs]].

-# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-02-01

- <marcusb> I remember the time when we had a /usr symlink. Now fedora 17
- will move / to /usr and have /foo symlinks. :)
- <marcusb> braunr:
- http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge
- <marcusb> braunr: fedora and others are merging /bin, /sbin and some other
- into /usr
- <marcusb> braunr: back in 1998 we tried for two years or so to have /usr ->
- .. in Debian GNU/Hurd, but eventually we gave up on it, because it broke
- some stuff
- <gnu_srs> marcusb: Hi, which one is better (in your opinion): / or /usr?
- <marcusb> gnu_srs: fedora says that using /usr allows better separation of
- distribution files and machine-local files
- <braunr> marcusb: won't it break remote /usr ?
- <marcusb> so you can atomically mount the OS files to /usr
- <marcusb> gnu_srs: but in the end, it's a wash
- <marcusb> personally, I think every package should get its own directory
- <braunr> marcusb: what PATH then ?
- <marcusb> braunr: well, I guess you'd want to assemble a union filesystem
- for a POSIX shell
- <braunr> marcusb: i don't see what you mean :/
- <braunr> ah this comes from Lennart Poettering
- <marcusb> braunr: check out for example how http://nixos.org/ does it
- <manuel> braunr: something like, union /package1/bin /package2/bin
- /package3/bin for /bin, /package1/lib /package2/lib /package3/lib for
- /lib, etc. I guess
- <braunr> manuel: would that scale well ?
- <marcusb> the idea that there is only one correct binary for each program
- with the name foo is noble, but a complete illusion that hides the
- complexity of the actual configuration management task
- <braunr> marcusb: right

-[[!meta title="Normal users can't start X"]]
-
-This happens because currently there is no way to detect console users.
-
-On Debian GNU/Hurd systems, you need to run
-
- # dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
-
-and select `Anybody` for starting X.
