Not sure > about that, I'm not using it here. I'm not sure what the deal is here, but exiting X does solve the problem. I didn't try just killing the environment by shutting down the wm and leaving X up, but if I forget and do something like that again I'll try to remember to try it. >> In any case, the mount was done after X was started, and switching >> vtys crashes X so I don't do that. > > That sounds a bit wrong... Agreed, but I saw someone else was having a similar problem with 9.0 release a bit earlier on a system, and no problem with 8.3. At least I think that was it. Hmmm, just looked and there's a firefox-bin.core and an xfce-appfinder.core. Timestamps look about right for when I did a vty switch. > Typo maybe?
