With 9.2 we had issue where it had a strange bug where it would take 15-25 minutes to reboot because EVERYTIME it booted the system it wanted to run reiserfsck against the 1.8T data partition.
Why would it take that long to run reiserfsck? reiserfsck always runs on every boot, because it shouldn't take any time at all, regardless of the size of the partition. It just replays the journal log, unless you're running it manually. For reiserfsck in itself to take that long I would consider a bug
well, that's where it stopped in the boot process. And if I commented out that slice in the fstab the machine would boot as normal. I tried various things to try to fix this but nothing seemed to work. Then 9.3 came out and I picked it up at Fry's.. *bam* The problem didn't occur with 9.3 and the machines aren't giving me a headache. So I've had really good experiences with it so far. I've even put it on my workstation in the office in place of 9.2 .. because 9.2 started telling "operation not permitted" when I would do things like "man fetchmail"... it would give me the same error when logged in as root. In my experience 9.2 wasn't all that great. I wish I'd stuck with 9.1 and went to 9.3.. skipping the .2 release.
That was a known problem, see http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/bootchart.png (that is a 6 min startup time!). After I changed 2 lines in 1 startup scripts (hotplug something I believe) the startup time changed to: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/bootchart-20041221.png (2 min) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
