After suffering a hard disk I/O error, I lost X, see previous post. I tried updating ALL packages in YaST2, during the update, YaST2 crashed with several more I/O errors. All I did after the initial system started giving me problems was 'fsck -y' on all device partitions. This evidently wiped out some of the system files and I assume I need to reload at this point? Is there something more than fsck that I should run on the drive to see if it can be re-used or should I discard my fairly new 150GB drive? I have a second question. If I reload, I have three SATA drives using LVM with XFS format to store data on this media server. Will a new install see that LVM as is? I want to avoid losing that data and not sure how a re-install of 10.0 will handle it. Or, should I put 10.1 on it this time? I use 10.1 on my workstation and STILL do not have my updates working right, I have to manually do them in YaST. I got so tired of searching for a solution to that after 2 or 3 failed to revive the updates. Do updates work now with a fresh install of 10.1 with updates applied during install? Also, I would need to make sure the MythTV packages are available for 10.1, that was loaded using 10.0 as this is a media server. Sorry for the long post, just looking for some guidance. Thanks in advance. -- Robert
