I can't see how a default config would do this, but do you have SELinux or AppArmor enabled? What does fstab and mount show? If possible, copy the system off and write ones and then zeros to the disk (and look for speed drops). Looking at the disk might've been a good call. Itay wrote: >On S

What to do when not understanding man pages?

I'm having problems with two specific man pages at the moment - gunzip and dpkg-scanpackages. When using gunzip I got an unexpected result. The result of "gunzip myfile.gz" was a single file named "myfile". What I expected/desired was to have two files on the disk - "myfile.gz" and "myfile".
