Hi, It looks like my problem with readahead isn't readahead! The drive which has my home directories seems to have a problem. If I log in as root (please don't bitslap me yet!), and from the command line look at the home directories, I can see paul, becki, richard and lost+found which is fine as they're supposed to be there. If I then try to look at the contents of /home/paul, it takes ages and the hard drive makes funny noises, so I'm thinking it's at the end of it's life more or less. fsck shows some bits and pieces, but essentially, it's not picking up any problems. Is there a way I can copy everything from one drive to another and keep the permissions from a dodgy drive to a working one? cp -ar seems an option, but it takes a while!
