I'm not even sure how to describe this, but I'll try. Okay: I have a small NAS device attached to my home LAN which I've been using to keep a large (~300GB) of data files on, but which is near its storage limit. So I've been trying to set up LVM (for the first time) on my 10.0 system, to create a larger archive to copy the data files to. The LVM creation process went well, as far as I can tell, and I ordered an rsync job to duplicate the original archive to the new, expanded one. But after about 36GB of copying, something incredibly weird happened: my original archive vanished from the mount list, and the rsync job stopped with a string of "no such file/directory" errors. I mean, it just *vanished* -- stopped showing up at all when I did a df. Konq started reporting "this directory/file no longer appears to be present" when I tried to navigate to it. And this is on a machine that *no one* else has access to, so I can 99% guarantee there was no human intervention. Even stranger: I couldn't remount the NAS drive for some reason, although using its HTTP access I was able to confirm that it was fine. Eventually, I just gave up and rebooted. And now, this (I should note that my NAS is normally mounted to /archives, and the LVM volume to /archives2):
Can you access some debug info on the NAS through the HTTP interface? E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
