That's supposed to be the same ext2 partition as Linux (except for
there is also the ownership label which is supposedly set to Hurd).

You most probably could be able to mount it the same way as any Linux
partition:
mount -t ext2 ... ... (or even without -t ext2 option).

The word of warning, though: DO NOT try to fsck Hurd's filesystem
from Linux. There is some incompatibility involved..

Best,
a.

PS. For those wondering what Hurd is (like myself), there is a link

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/gnu-19990505.tar.gz

with the snapshot of the Hurd filesystem...
You'd also need a boot floppy (with GRUB); search the net.

It's not really a Hurd partition, it's just that the partition-type
numbers happen to conflict. Use the filesystem type "sysv".
