Maybe it has something to do with using Hard Drives now mapped by the new openSUSE 10.2 system, which were created by the Novell SUSE 10.1 system. To seperate Data and OS, what I normally do is to save all data on a seperate hard drive, which is mapped to /home/<username>/Data. The standard /home/<username>/Documents directory is removed and a link set to the Documents directory with "ln -s /home/<username>/Data/Documents Documents". I have done it often before, and had no problems yet.
If I recall correctly, I mounted the drive during installation when openSUSE 10.2 installed, it came up with a dialogue box saying something to the effect that the user rights of the files are not linked to any user. It asked if it should make the files accessable to the newly createsd user, perhaps because it was now under its home directory. I thought it would only make a: "chown -R <usename>:<usergroup> /home/<username>/Data", so allowed it. Normally I mapped the drives after the installation in fstab or with YaST2.
Could this be a source of the problem? I don't know what what done during this operation, so I can't comment.
Could you please post the fstab entry for that separate harddrive ? TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.
