I had a similar problem with 7.2 and 8.0. It had something to do with 'md-devices' compiled into the default kernel. If I remember correctly I could unload a module called md.o (rmmod md.o) and then the problem would go away. After I recompiled my kernel everything worked fine, but I don't exactly know which kernel-compile option you have to disable. > Actually, I decided to try XFS for the first time this time around. > Could that be it? > Miaoling Chiu wrote: > >Dear Jason, > >Which filesystem are you running (ext2, ext3, > >Reiserfs, XFS, or ?)?
