You may be right. When I try to go from init 3 to init 5 I get
Starting monitoring for VG VolGroup: 2 logical volume(s) in volume
group "VolGroup" monitored
[ OK ]
Starting system logger
Retrigger failed udev events [ OK ]
And then the system appears to 'hang'.
Might this be because of the Beagle file system or because I'm using
Logical Volumes?
