Re: [RFC] stowfs translators architecture and parameters

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   # settrans -capfg /stow  /hurd/stowfs -T /hurd/unionfs \
          -d /bin bin  -d /sbin sbin  -d /lib lib local/lib

Note: Don't use -T, it is used for specifing stores.  (End of note)

   With this command line, the stowfs translator will set three other 
   translators:

   1) in /bin: /hurd/unionfs  /stow/pkg1/bin /stow/pkg2/bin ...
   2) in /sbin: /hurd/unionfs  /stow/pkg1/sbin /stow/pkg2/sbin ...
   3) in /lib: /hurd/unionfs  /stow/pkg1/lib /stow/pkg1/local/lib /stow/pkg...

It would be wise to make unionfs support some kind of a switch to make
the command line shorter.  Not that important right now, we don't have
a limit on the size of argument, but it isn't nice when `ps uxaw'
shows a line that spans ten screens.

In short, all is good, all is well according to me.

Thanks, and happy hacking!
