Curious. I returned my copy after all the problems I was having with filesystem corruption. I'm still not happy with the solution (returning to Fedora), but I have to run SOMETHING. Has anyone figured out a single point of failure as to why so many people such as myself are having random problems with SuSE 9.1? I'd like to give it a go, but not in its current state.
I had two installations go south because of file system corruption. On the third install I did not use LVM partitions and all has been well.
Now this is starting to make sense... does any one without LVM had file corruption problems?
I did an upgrade to my Compaq 1260 laptop and shortly thereafter I had some major filesystem corruption. Read all the previous stuff about reiserfs and decided to go to ext3. I had been running reiserfs since at least 8.0 with no problems. Just got it back and will now see if that fixes my problem. BTW, I had tried the repair function in yast and it told me I had troubles but it could not fix them. Guess I'll see how long that fix lasts. Richard
