Hi , with both 2.6.23.1-20071017175209-default and 2.6.23.1-46-default x86_64 I couldn't log in after booting these kernels. I seems that lvm fills up the root file system. I've found the following messages in/var/log/boot.msg: Scanning for LVM volume groups... Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... /dev/sdd: open failed: No medium found /dev/sde: open failed: No medium found /dev/sdf: open failed: No medium found /dev/sdg: open failed: No medium found Found volume group "system2" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "system" using metadata type lvm2 /etc/lvm/.cache.tmp: fclose failed: No space left on device Activating LVM volume groups... 6 logical volume(s) in volume group "system2" now active 5 logical volume(s) in volume group "system" now active /etc/lvm/.cache.tmp: fclose failed: No space left on device done But there should be enough free space on that root filesystem. A df ( when booting this installation with 2.6.22.9-0.4-default) shows: /dev/sdb9 12586488 788532 11797956 7% / udev 1031388 200 1031188 1% /dev /dev/mapper/system-home 125825276 26086412 99738864 21% /home /dev/mapper/system-opt 6291260 1165092 5126168 19% /opt /dev/mapper/system-usr 9436892 4397596 5039296 47% /usr /dev/mapper/system-usr_src 26213596 14766632 11446964 57% /usr/src /dev/mapper/system-var 4091772 470640 3621132 12% /var Is this a known problem ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
