Perhaps the issue may be linked to declaring /etc as an own subroot. The symptoms are like follows: * a phase of massive disk access lasting for a minute or more * a stall phase where it seems to do nothing At first the problem was triggered on every opening of a file dialogue (file dialogue of kcrashhandler as well as the file dialogue of firefox). Also disk access in common did seem to last longer than normally. Now on reboot I have a total system freeze however with num-lock still working.
