https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220200 Summary: ext3 root file system is very slow Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fmfischer@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de I am afraid my bug 74585 is back. Here is some data (also verified in runlevel 1): little:/home/mifi # fdisk -l Platte /dev/hda: 81.9 GByte, 81964302336 Byte 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 158816 cylinders Einheiten = Zylinder von 1008 × 512 = 516096 Bytes Gerät boot.

It is exactly the same behaviour as in now fixed bug 74585. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
