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
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.

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]

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.
