What configuration differences between the two setups? e.g.: Are you using the same partition layout? I'm using the defaults for both RedHat and SuSE on a 9gb drive.
That doesn't mean a lot to me. What is the output of echo p | fdisk /dev/hda (run as root), and df -h (run as anyone)?
Are you using the same file systems? Does this mean Ext, Journaling etc? I'm using whatever it set up for me by RedHat 7.2, SuSE 7.2
Output of mount please.
Are you using the same hard drive optimisation parameters? Didn't know there were any :(
Output of hdparm -t -T -v /dev/hda (run as root) please.
What else do you have running on the machine? The SuSE install may have a few more service running, come to think of it. Samba, DHCPD. Those are what I have setup after the initial install.
Output of pstree please.
Are the contents of /lib and /usr/lib (and other lib folders) similar in size? Now this I can check, and I'll get back to you for advice if they turn out to be vastly different. Are the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf the same? What does this do?
See the ld.so(8) manpage. Michael
