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."

    Uh, it's more like: 'Yeah, yeah, we know the partition limit is annoying, but we only have so much time and there are more important things to work on.'
