https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404129 Summary: e2fsck takes extremly long on clean filesystems Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.pfaller(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- After installing 11.0 I noticed that every boot stalled extremely long (several minutes) during the fsck phase although all filesystems were clean and a forced check (due to mount count or time limit) was not needed. Further testing showed that the 11.0 e2fsck takes much longer to check a clean file system then older versions, e.g. 11.0 fsck: [bomba ~#> time e2fsck /dev/sda7 e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) data: clean, 51075/28327936 files, 43019103/56639157 blocks real 1m4.789s user 0m0.300s sys 0m0.760s Same filesystem using the 10.2 e2fsck while running 11.0: [bomba ~#> time /mnt/diavolo-root/sbin/e2fsck /dev/sda7 e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) data (/dev/sda7): clean, 51075/28327936 files, 43019103/56639157 blocks real 0m0.167s user 0m0.128s sys 0m0.012s Both results are with hot caches and completely reproduceable. The complete boot takes even longer since the samples above are for one of my smaller file systems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 366762] New: cron ignores postfix environmental settings

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366762 Summary: cron ignores postfix environmental settings Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: support(a)microtechniques.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Customer Security check jobs run by security-control.sh search for and prioritize which mail client that they use and use the environment variables specified in sysconfig/security (see tests around line 41) run-crons only uses the mail command, and does not export any of the mail related environmental settings (see line 224). As a result, an installation running multiple postfix instances with separate mail stores does not receive any mail from cron jobs, and you get syslog errors about a missing /var/spool/postfix/maildrop. 1)run-crons and security-control.sh should use the same means for selecting the mail system. 2)run-crons should export environment variables such as MAIL_CONFIG when specified in a crontab. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 371807] New: WaitForEvent causes flickering with ncurses

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=371807 Summary: WaitForEvent causes flickering with ncurses Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: sh(a)novell.com ReportedBy: aschnell(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: Development UI::WaitForEvent causes flickering with ncurses. ncurses removes some highlighting when it's not waiting for user input. So the short time YCP spends processing the UI::WaitForEvent result causes flickering. Qt and Gtk seems to switch to the busy cursor with a delay. Maybe that is also possible with ncurses. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On my other disks there is allready a VG /dev/system with a 10.3 installation. When trying to install 11.0b3 on the free disk using a LVM based proposal the installer insists on using /dev/system as VG and will try to delete the old installation on the other disk. IMHO the installer should ask for another name for the new VG instead of trying to delete the old VG. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
