That is interesting. I occasionally mount my old /opt and /usr partitions (from my now unused RH installation) just to look at how some things were set up. A couple of times, I've had the same difficulty umounting the old /usr (mounted to /mnt/hdb5, FWIW). Sometimes the problem disappears after a couple of days. but I don't understand what causes it. Mine is also unstable with a Knoppix kernel (2.4.21-xfs). -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
