This is confirmed to be fixed with Coreutils 9.1 as discussed at:

Native builds of coreutils-8.32 (ca. commit
3734857fc55df2c599c2fe5cc4ae49f5d47879fc) have one test failure on
i586-gnu:

Indeed, ‘df’ seems to read FIFOs as if they were regular files:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ludo <at> childhurd ~$ mkfifo fifo
ludo <at> childhurd ~$ ls -l fifo
prw-r--r-- 1 ludo users 0 Oct 21 07:08 fifo
ludo <at> childhurd ~$ df ./fifo
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory
^C
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It would seem that it’s stuck on a ‘dir_lookup’ RPC:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  135<--132(pid83)->io_identity_request () = 0    137<--136(pid83)    131<--133(pid83) 29419
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 18}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 19}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 17}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 19}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 17}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 16}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 14}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 17}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 14}) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 2023 (17022976 4096) = 0 
  86<--120(pid83)->dir_lookup ("home/ludo/fifo" 65 0) ...113
task109(pid83)-> 2021 (0 4096 1) = 0 17018880
task109(pid83)-> 3208 (pn{ 13} 0 1) = 0 
task109(pid83)-> 3206 (pn{ 13}) = 0 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

… where 65 = O_NOTRANS | O_RDONLY.

Passing O_NOTRANS (without O_RDONLY) like the ‘stat’ command does works
fine.

Maybe /hurd/fifo needs to implement ‘trivfs_check_open_hook’ to avoid
actually opening?
