Hi,
I tried installing reiserfs in my machine. All partitions are changed to
rfs. But X got crashed.
It displayed fatal error for loading fonts. I went through some FAQ's and
got a solution like, comment the
line related to that particular font in XF86Config. I did like that, and X
came up. Along with the same FAQ it was written that this error can happen
if u tried to cp or mv files in /tmp directory. I had done the same while
making /tmp reiserfs support. Is this true. What has to be done.... Please
advise...
regards
Vinoos.
