Hi; W.A.G. I'm new to linux and also know little to nothing about encrypted file systems - but I just took a look at that link you provided and it seems that they are using a SMP kernel - do you have a SMP system? If you aren't using a HyperThreaded CPU, Dual-Core, or Multi-CPU system, I'd guess you'd have issues. > I should have plenty of memory > total used free shared buffers > cached > Mem: 3116936 3095872 21064 0 178824 > 2545060 > -/+ buffers/cache: 371988 2744948 > Swap: 1951888 772 1951116 Another W.A.G.; Are you using 3GB of RAM already ? with 21MB free? When I use 'top' (Debian Sarge 2.6.8-2-i386) it displays output in KB Apologies if i missed your Hardware specs - and if my WAG'es are way off the mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
