I finally saw first hand the read-only BUG in suse 10.2. I was working on a 110MB PowerPoint presentation on a flash drive (using OpenOffice, of course) and when I went to save my work the system got about 1/3 of the way through, then threw a hissy fit (that's somewhat akin to a wall-eyed fit) and then went read only. It took a reboot and ultimately booting to a linux live cd and running fsck on the root partition before I got the system up and running again. To test the theory posted here a few days ago that the bug involves high disk usage on different filesystems, I then copied the PP file over to the hard drive, then redid all the work and this time it worked as it should have. The flash drive is FAT32, the hard drive is ext3. YMMV. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
