/hurd/tmpfs problem

[Michael Teichgraeber]

Hi,

when using the tmpfs translator of the Debian hurd package of
2001 Nov 5, I experience problems. I set a translator to a local
directory ./tmp by running `settrans ./tmp /hurd/tmpfs 1MB'; I am able
to create files within that fs, but they are not visible anymore, if I
enter the directory a second time.

I have seen, that every time I `cd' into ./tmp, two new `/hurd/tmpfs
1MB' processes are started. Running `ls ./tmp' gives two new
translator processes too. But, a `ls .' within the directory, where
./tmp resides, results in only one additional /hurd/tmpfs process.

Is this a known problem, or do you have an idea, in which direction
one could investigate?
