Hi well another one for 11.3 this one could get nasty . i run with reiserfs on / and xfs on /home i have run like this for a long time and see no reason to change as i will not use any of the ext* filesystems there is no point in even suggesting it when i reboot the system (hopefully very rarely once i get it stable) it unmounts /home no problem but seems not to unmount / as when i power the system backup up it takes an age to load grub then once i get the graphical screen hit escape key it is busy replaying the journel this means it had not been closed out cleanly . This system worked perfectly on 11.1 11.2 in fact thinking about also 10.0 and 10.1 & 10.3 so why the change now . what have i to do to get this behaviour back to correct again ( i never have had to do a thing up till now) system as per sig block below Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2" 21:22 up 4:08, 4 users, load average: 0.29, 0.21, 0.18 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
