GNU/Hurd Delayed To Fix Disk Size, Serial I/O Limitations

Posted by timothy on from the asymptotic dept.

gregger writes "This Infoworld article indicates that the GNU/Hurd is still waiting to stampede. Evidently they have to switch from the GNU Mach implementation they're using now to OSKit's Mach which will help them support faster serial I/O and larger hard discs. Currently GNU/Hurd will only support somewhere between 1 to 2 GB partitions."

  1. Mach/Hurd by IvyMike · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    Out of fairness, shouldn't this thing be called Mach/Hurd? (Or Mach/Gnu/Hurd, or Gnu/Mach/Hurd, or whatever....the point is the addition of "Mach") I suggest this for all the same reasons Stallman thinks it should be Gnu/Linux.
