Hello,

I'm interested in experimental OS, such as GNU/Hurd, but I have a persistent problem playing with it.
Hurd is not an ideal of stability and ext2 is not the best FS, so I get fatally corrupted FS after 4-5 reboots. I think running Hurd on NFS, which is hosted on Linux server with NVMe will be a solution.
Is there any way to setup Debian GNU/Hurd Root on NFS?
Is initrd a mandatory for such scenario or we can bypass everything via GRUB?

Thank you for your future answer,
Best regards,
Yaroslav Minieiev

Is there any way to setup Debian GNU/Hurd Root on NFS?

That should be possible by setting up a pfinet.static bootstrap module
and then an nfs.static bootstrap module.

As of now nfs.static will howewer not know how to access pfinet without
an existing root filesystem, so that would need to be fixed first.

Ext2 is very stable, you have another problem. Check ram, maybe?

I am coming back after about 1 year of ... something else.

But I tend to understand OP.

Once in a while, I had to stop abruptly (mostly the VM, did not do much real hardware), and that cause most of the time
the system to need fsck at next rebbot. With ext3 or other journaling fs, you don't get to see a fsck needed.
But for me, almost every time, fsck seems to fix the problems.
