OK, thanks for telling me that. I might simply try not using LVM on my next install and just use FC5 or FC6. Thanks again!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/8/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">jack snodgrass</b> <

<br>I have FC5 on 3 different boxes at my house/home office and all<br>my boxes run 24/7. I don't use LVM. I just use big partitions. One<br>of my FC5 boxes has 2TB of XFS partions. None of my boxes<br>ever lock up. ( they are all AMD64 - different speeds ) running x86_64
<br>objects. The box I do my dvd burning causes me greif every once<br>in a while when I burn a dvd or rip a dvd. I have to force the dvd to<br>eject some times and reboot before it will work again... don't think<br>that is a FC5 issues... I get some weird i/o erros and dma errors.
<br>I'm going to move the dvd to a different IDE channel and see if<br>it 'fixes' it.<br><br>jack<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
