Nigel,
Thank you for your help. Here is some information as to your questions.
This information came from a unit that was a new install of an
"E-Machine" that worked well until I did an update with yum -y update.
The update was done immediately after the install After the update the
gui login screen has failed. I have two other units (all of which are
E-Machines) that have been running about 2 months without difficulty.
I posted a bug report with Red Hat, but they feel like this is a config
problem and directed me back to this list. It may be a config problem,
but it is not one that I or the other users have created in that this
the data below comes from a new install.
Unfortunately, this problem has left the units unusable for the users,
and will need to be fixed for us to continue the migration from MS to
FC.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!!
Greg
My directories are as follows:
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jan 18 09:53 .font-unix
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 18 09:38 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100
The output of strace xfs is as follows. Unfortunately I do not have
capacity at this point to understand what is happening so I would
certainly appreciate your help.
