openSuSE 10.2, never had a problem with filesystem but suddenly it seems it has become "bad" as it takes something like 10 or more seconds to open a file, especially the biggest ones, and in the meanwhile it doesn't allow to do anything else but wait. I've already run fsck (ext3) to check it but no error is shown and yet I still have big troubles working with big files (>100MB).
In addition, during the wait, the hard disk sounds like it is doing such a big work that it's so busy it can't even move my mouse. Quite strange.
Could it even be an hardware (hard disk) problem?
Sounds like the swap space is full or your file system has ran out of space.
I can exclude this. My guess is something wrong with filesystem or an hardware problem as suggested. # df -h /dev/hda2 8.9G 5.3G 3.2G 63% / /dev/hda3 3.0G 1.1G 1.8G 39% /home # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1035748 560712 475036 0 22640 359068 -/+ buffers/cache: 179004 856744 Swap: 0 0 0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
