Interesting. I'm also running SuSE, but have upgraded to a later kernel that they have listed as being a security fix -- kernel-smp-2.6.16.21-0.13 This is terribly frustrating because my system has now hung about 5-6 times now. I've backed up to a previous version of Bacula, which does not crash the system, and am in the process of applying my changes a little at a time -- very time consuming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
