Thin Puppy Torture Test -- a bump in the road
I had a little problem with the MUT -- Puppy Linux's Mounting Utility Tool -- and I can't seem to mount my USB flash drive (or any drive, for that matter -- the CD drive is not connected, but it still appeared as a possible mounting choice). So I did something I haven't done in the eight days previous -- I killed X Windows, which took me down to a shell prompt, and restarted the window manager.
It didn't help, nor did trying to kill out some of the errant processes with KP. This isn't enough to end the Thin Puppy Torture Test, but since I can't mount any external drives, it does mean that the test may not go on much longer. I have the network unplugged at the moment, but I'll replug and try to post this. If I continue to have IP coming through, then enough of the system is working to keep the Torture Test running. I can still save to the file system in RAM, and I've got 40.7 MB of space left.
So at the moment I've got a bunch of processes running that I can't get rid of ... but I do have networking, and I am able to post on Movable Type. So the Torture Test goes on ...
