ext2fs-translator keeps crashing

[Wikström, Mårten]

I have a GNU/Linux partiton that I want to mount under /linux. I tried
# settrans -c /linux /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd0s2
and it works. I can ls /linux. But when I try
# ls /linux/bin
it says

ls: /linux/bin: Computer bought the farm

What does that mean? And then when I try to ls /linux again I get:
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s2: warning: FILESYSTEM NOT UNMOUNTED CLEANLY; PLEASE fsck
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s2: warning: MOUNTED READ-ONLY; MUST USE `fsysopts --writable´

I interpret this as that the translator died and left the partition in an 
inconsistent state. What am I doing wrong?

regards

Mårten
