This is great I will try this!
To anwer some other question that came up.
I'm using ext3 on that particular partition.
The system was behaving very strange, programs where starting real slow and stuff.
When I quit X I got several 'hda: lost interupt' which I guessed whas due to a faulty idebus= setting or maybe a hdparm setting,
So I rebooted the system. The system wouldnt boot because fsck couldnt find libblkid.so.1, that was because /var was defined before /lib in /etc/fstab.
So I copied the libblkid.so.1 file to the lib folder and fsck started, it found alot of stuff. I answered yes to most of the stuff (all).
And when the system went up everything in the /var dir was gone.
I think I'll repartiotion my drive and see that /lib is not on another partition.
Tips or ideas? I have no idea why /var was hit so hard.
I'm using:
Kernel 2.4.21-pre7
1Gb DDR (400NHz)
2.4GHz Intel Pentium IV
Two Segate Barracuda IV 80Gb
Philips DVD-R/CD-RW
And a Soltek motherboard with VIA Apollo something chipset.
