Hello,
I came up with a neat trick to rescue hanging Hurd systems. Or
rather, the filesystems. When we kill an essential task from the
kernel debugger, /hurd/startup will reboot the system:
<ctrl-alt-d>
Stopped at machine_idle+0xe: leave
db> call task_terminate($task4)
0
db> c
/hurd/startup: Crashing system; essential task proc died
startup: notifying ext2fs device:hd0s1 of reboot...done
startup: rebooting Mach (flags 0)...
