from 2010/07/05 didn't suffer from this, but also happened with 2.6.34.7 with aufs from 2010/07/05 (e.g. before updating aufs). I hope, that you have an idea, why this could happen, since digging into the twisted mazes of this distribution kernel¹ may be not too funny.. ¹) it's the current git kernel of openSUSE 11.3, used for openSUSE 11.1, with only aufs base and standalone patches applied: remote.origin.url=git://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel-source.git branch.v2.6.34.merge=refs/heads/openSUSE-11.3 Cordially yours, Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev
