The support of setting (and reading) of passive translators from
GNU/Linux has been added to the Linux kernel by the commit [1].
The name index '10' has been reserved for GNU/Hurd.
Hurd passive translators are stored as a xattr value with name
"gnu.translator" [2].
If "gnu.translator" xattr value has been set before calling
mkfs.ext2, it will segfault since "gnu." is not present in
ea_names[].
$ setfattr -n gnu.translator -v "/hurd/exec\0" ${TARGET_DIR}/servers/exec
$ mkfs.ext2 -d ${TARGET_DIR} -o hurd -O ext_attr rootfs.ext2 "1G"
Adding "gnu." to ea_names[], allow to create ext2 filesystem
for GNU/Hurd with passive translator already set.
