+    <mcsim> hi. I'm having problems with copying directory from host machine to
+      hurd image. I mount hurd image at host and than use "cp -r" to copy
+      directory. Then I unmount image and start qemu. When I try to see
+      contents of the directory I get error "Computer bought the farm".
+    <braunr> mcsim: are you using the ext4 driver from linux ?
+    <mcsim> I use image debian-hurd-20140211.img from 
+    <braunr> if so, avoid it
+    <mcsim> ok
+    <mcsim> i'll try
+    <mcsim> braunr: do I have to compile module on my own? because modprobe
+      ext2 && lsmod | grep ext2 give no output?
+    <braunr> maybe
+    <braunr> mcsim: what kernel are you using ?
+    <mcsim> 3.12
+    <braunr> oh
+    <mcsim> braunr: what is wrong with it?
+    <braunr> grep 'EXT[234]' /boot/config*
+    <braunr> it probably uses ext4 for ext2 and ext3
+    <braunr> and i don't think it's possible to simply load the ext2fs module
+    <braunr> because the options are mutually exclusive iirc
+    <mcsim> # CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set
+    <mcsim> is there another way to copy data?
+    <braunr> probably not
+    <braunr> (check for CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23)
+    <gg0> mcsim: install 3.10
+      http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/3.10.11-1/#linux-image-3.10-3-686-pae_3.10.11-1
+    <gg0> https://bugs.debian.org/738758
+    <gg0> assuming host is debian
+    <mcsim> gg0: thank you
+    * gg0 redirects thanks to AliciaC who caught it
+    <AliciaC> gg0: thanks :)
