System Commander trashed my hard disk when I attempted to resize my
Win2K NTFS partition, so I'm forced to reinstall everything, including
Linux on that same drive. This time around, I decided to try out
ReiserFS as my root file system. During setup, I configured boot
options, but after doing so, the installation program never returned. I
rebooted and used drakxconf to install my X server. When I start up X
in KDE, it starts up very slowly, and actually never puts up the desktop
icons. The cursor remains a clock for several *minutes*, but the system
is not locked. I can log off of KDE (back to the boot up terminal
session) without a problem. If I start up gnome, it starts up okay,
including all the desktop icons. But when I try to log off, it won't.
I try to log off about 5 times in a row. Eventually, something will get
it to put up the log off dialog.
Could this be ReiserFS doing this? Should I switch back to ext2? I
played around with XFS in a different installation on this same
hardware, and it didn't appear to have any issues (other than the fact
that it defaults to read-only.) Thanks for all advice.
