Re: Fwd: "spontaneous" umount
Did you try disabling supermount to see if the problem goes away? Vassilii = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Fwd: "spontaneous" umount
OK - no war, but I don't intend to change a excelent distro just because of one missing tool. And BTW, this is a home machine and not a server.

Re: Fwd: "spontaneous" umount
Well... No intentions to start a holy-distro-war, but I think that this can be a good reason to move your server to a better distro. like CentOS5 if you're you're looking for an enterprise OS, of (k)ubuntu 7.04 if you're looking for something more dynamic. (ubuntu 6.06 LTS does not provide systemtap to the best of my knowledge) servers should provide a stable platform as well as a wide set of tools to debug and explore problems, and as I see it mandriva fails to do so at the moment. btw, centos has support for systemtap since 4.2. - Noam On 5/22/07, Shlomo Solomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There is no binary.

Re: Fwd: "spontaneous" umount
There is no binary. I also looked in all the usual places for an "unofficial" RPM that might exist, but no luck.

Re: Fwd: "spontaneous" umount
what error do you get when you run it? if you can find the "stap" binary, it is most likely that all you are missing afterwards is the kernel debug package.

Re: Fwd: "spontaneous" umount
Sorry not to have answered earlier, but I've had a busy week at work and barely had time to look at my computer at home. In any case, as far as I can see, Mandriva does not support SystemTap, so I guess I'm back where I started.
