Hi friend, I saw your ticket about the Ghost, so I have a question about this. If we can use the Symantec Ghost 11 to make a image of the whole disk of the OS ,then recover it onto a new disk? Would you pls give me any idea of it ? thanks Regards Kalvin Weng AT&S (China) Co.,Ltd Tel.: +86 21 24080509 Email: k.weng@cn.ats.net "Boyd Stephen Smith Jr." <bss@iguanasuicid To e.net> opensuse@opensuse.org cc 2009-12-08 09:30 "Carlos E.

That's because you don't hibernate your machine. Hibernation where the boot device is reiserfs does no longer work, since at least 11.1 (grub can't cope). There is a bugzilla for that one, with a quite small chance of being solved.
That's odd. I've hibernated and resumed this system 3-4 times since I did a "hard reboot".
/dev/dm-3 reiserfs 12G 8.0G 4.1G 67% / /dev/sda1 reiserfs 2.1G 62M 2.1G 3% /boot
Which suse version?
IIRC, installed from the oS 11.1 CD. I've since upgraded to 11.2 via manual massaging of my repositories followed by a zypper dup, an unbootable system, and later recovery.
That is indeed very surprising. Is /boot mounted "ro" perhaps? Something different?

I had Debian installed prior to the oS 11.1 installation.
Please have a look at Bugzilla 538795.
It's possible that my GRUB stage 1 is still lingering from a Debian installation. I don't think that would be the case, since grub has been installed / reinstalled multiple times since then. I don't have a long delay during boot-up or thaw, but my /boot is rather small so the journal replay may be quick. When thawing, the longest period of time is taken reading (and decompressing?) the system image. It is unfortunate that reiserfs is dying/dead. It has served me well on multiple pieces of hardware, and ext4 is not a solution for me (although ext2 /boot is acceptable). I will eventually move to XFS if I have problems with reiserfs while BTrFS is still unstable. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ (See attached file: signature.asc) This e-mail and any attachment may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
