Im running Slack 10.0 as a server... ASUS P5P800, Pentium4 3.0, 1280Mb
S.M.A.R.T told me my harddisk was bad!

I bought a new one... installed Slack 10.2 and made a large home-part using Reiserfs.


Copying all my pichtures and other stuff it hangs (freezing and kernal panic) all the time...
I have to copy a couple of files a time then i works better...
I made a dir 2006-03 and copied some files there and it froze...
When I restart it ls tells the dir exist... ls -al not.
Trying to cp the dir, remove it ore create it again it tells me i have no access!!!
What shall I do... ???
How do I find out why Slack is hanging??

That sounds like a permissions issue. Permissions on folders must be read - write - execute in order to have access to the folder, read the contents, and write to the folder. If the execute bit isn't set, even root user will be denied permission to enter the folder.

If root made the folder, then the permissions probably will not allow user to enter, read, or write.

Verify the permissions on the folder. If you want root as the owner, but users may view the contents, then root must have rwx permissions; users must have r-x permissions (if user should be allowed to also write, add the w permission).

chown root:users /path/to/folder
or, chown -R root:users /path/to/folder if there are sub-folders.

Then, chmod u+rwx /path/to/folder as root owner.
chmod g+rx /path/to/folder for members of the users group. If users should be able to write to the folder, chmod g+rwx /path/to/folder.
