Thanks. I had to roll back the entire server installation, but will proceed with it again tomorrow morning. I will then try your suggestion. There is another point I missed to mention in my first post. This is the first server we install with ext3 instead of ext2 (though tomorrows upgrade will proceed with ext2). Is it possible that this has anything to do with this issue? Also, is this bug reported in bugzilla? Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Ingeniero de Sistemas Virtualia S.A.
