Everyone probably knows this already, but just in case:- I have only just installed Mandrake 9.2 This is a clean install, not an upgrade. */home* remained unformatted from 9.1, while */* and */usr* were both formatted.
My systems don't run Supermount. This application slows my systems down incredibly and that could have something to do with having a floppy drive which the system takes longer to read when no disk is in the drive. Even longer still when a disk is in residence. But on the occasion of 9.2, disable -i supermount gave me an error message as did using the -f switch and anything else I tried. So I wrote the /etc/fstab file manually which is fine, just more time consuming, but strangely my KwikDisk utility did not register that a partition was mounted by the indicator of the space remaining on that partition. So I looked in /etc/mtab and discovered that the devices were written differently to the /etc/fstab file, eg, In the /etc/fstab the device was written:- /dev/hda12 /mnt/documents ext3 and so on. In the /etc/mtab the device was written:- /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part12 /mnt/documents ext3 and so on Using this new device name to the /etc/fstab file, made the KwikDisk utility work as it always has in the past and as it should. Hope this helps someone. Charlie. ----- The great man is one who never loses his child's heart. Mencius This email is guaranteed to be wholly Linux Mandrake 9.1, Kmail v1.5 and OpenOffice.org1.1.0
