I am using Opensuse 10.3 I typed mount, and this is the outcome [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda6 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sda1 on /windows_C type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) /dev/sda4 on /windows_D type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) Is any of these lines saying that it's enabled ?
