I just backed up all the data ~ Yet, it seems something else may be (also?) somehow relating to those delays. Since I start knoppix 7.0.2 as: ~ knoppix no3d fromhd=/dev/sda9 ~ could these issues/problems relate to the fact that /dev/sda9 is mounted read-only and knoppix keeps it to itself throughout its running time? ~ See bellow the fdisk -l timings when I run knoppix from the dvd ~ lbrtchx
