Thanks Lonnie I have always used ASTRUW as I dont have to worry about partition sizing. Ultimately as CF gets cheaper, this will be less of a problem and I am also thinking that it would be less detrimental on the system in filling up a dedicated /mnt/kd partition rather than ASTURW. What sho

[Astlinux-users] Really weird problem

2013-07-31 Thread Michael Knill
To the group I had a really weird problem which is bugging me and I am hoping someone can explain. I set up a new system at a site, left it for about 3 weeks, then went back and finished off the configuration. The site had a power failure and when it came back, all my config changes FROM MY SE
