The message was "login failed" and was displayed within the KDE login dialogue
for 1-2 seconds).

Well, as you may know from irc, now, the /var partition went nuts after I
stupidly applied a resize command to the lvm partition without previously
unmounting it (there were no complaints, though). The /var branch showed 101%
usage in "df" and some Zillion bytes used.
(I had been naive enogh to adapt one of kurt's lines from the bashhistory to
do the job. When trying to fix the partition, fsck mangled the file system
eventually.)
We could restore /var/ldap and most other paths from lost+found, but this did
not suffice to get the system back to running).
Eventually we decided to reinstall RC-3 from scratch, while preserving the
former hard disk (hot-plug scsi). There weren't really many personal
accounts, yet, so that the loss is bearable.
The Reinstallation did not succeed yet, but this will be another thread.
Considering that the used hard disk has 18 GB, I think that < 500 MB
for /skole/tjener/home0 is way too few (RC-3), did I miss such thing as a
front end to LVM-resize?
Will I be easy to mount the old hard disk (/dev/sdb now) containing an LVM
filesystem?
Thanks
regards
Ralf
