Re: [SLE] No write access to $HOME

The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE No write access to $HOME directory (/) KDE is unable to start

Went in as root and had a look at /home which showed up empty. /home was mounted, /dev/hdd1 was seen so I decided to do a reiserfsck. Got a lot of readable and hopefully usable files back in the lost+found.

Hi. We used to get the same error message when our server was unable to send the requested directory over NFS fast enough so that the client could read it. In other words the client is looking for a directory that isn't there yet and times out. I don't know but maybe this could also relate to fast and slow disks? Good luck with the backup. Steve.
