-`storeio` is a *translator for devices and other stores*.
+<!-- http://richtlijn.be/~larstiq/hurd/hurd-2010-08-25 -->
+
+`storeio` is a translator for devices and other stores. You can use
+it for user-level access to `/dev/hd0s1` instead of kernel-based
+access.
+
+ $ settrans foo /hurd/storeio myfile
+
+Now, foo will look like a device, which gives you transparent
+decompression, partition handling, etc. It is a little like Linux's
+`losetup`, and you don't have to be root to use it!
It relies heavily on [[libstore]].
