Hello, during the last 3 days I've installed LM 9.0 on 4 machines. On three PC's it was an update from LM 8.2 to 9.0 and one fresh install. I found some bugs which in my opinion can exist in a beta version of a distribution but not on a final one. I've split the problems into sections.
- static routes made via netconf or linuxconf will never be started because of a new format in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes The routing is expected in a file called route-eth0 for example. temp. Solution: uncomment the old version in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes - network probe doesn't exist, so linuxconf fails to get the current status of the network - an old problem with nfs: if i have open files on a nfs mounted share and make a /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs stop (or a shutdown/reboot) the first time umount fails, then fuser -km kills the process and the share is umounted - but the netfs script retries to umount the share 2 times more because the nfs share is still listed under /proc/mounts. For me a workaround is to fuser -km the procs before the first try of umount -f -a -t nfs ...... [ -n "$NFSMTAB" ] && { sig= retry=3 remaining=`awk '!/^#/ && $3 ~ /^nfs/ && $2 != "/" {print $2}' /proc/mounts` /sbin/fuser -k -m $sig $remaining >/dev/null while [ -n "$remaining" -a "$retry" -gt 0 ] Not a good solution - but it works for me. So, enough of the network problems - supermount, mysql and shutdown trouble will follow later. At the end something positive: I think Mandrake Linux is one of the best linux distributions. With LM 8.2 i haven't big trouble and the configuration is much better than in other distributions. Bye, Dirk
