-This uses [[settrans]] and [[storeio]] to create a ramdisk of 32 MiB by routing
-a thusly sized [[zero store]] through the [[copy store]], connecting
-that to the `ramdisk0` node, create a `ext2` filesystem on it, and replace the
-translator running on the `ramdisk0` node with a instance of the [[`ext2fs`
-translator|translator/ext2fs]] running on the same node ([[translator
-stacking|translator/stacking]]).
-
-It is a [[!taglink open_issue_hurd]] why this does only work with
-`ext2fs.static`, but not the dynamically linked `ext2fs` (`settrans:
-/hurd/ext2fs: Translator died`).
-
-A (better) alternative would be using the [[`tmpfs`
-translator|translator/tmpfs]], but that one is broken at the moment.
