OK, in my attempt to stress Mageia3 Beta1 x86_64, I might have done too much initially.
Lenovo w500 laptop 4GB w/Memory
Installed to a 32GB USB memory stick (/dev/sdb)
two encrytped file systems (/ and /home), /boot unencrypted
boot loader installed to the memory stick
Wired ethernet
It took upwards of 24hrs to do the install, but that I am willing to bet was the USB memory stick - though I would have thought
it would have been faster than with a disk.
on system reboot (after the install) I got the splash screen, the prompt for my passphrase and then the following
systemd-fsck[714]: /dev/sdb1: clean, 40/73152 files, 16545/292608 blocks
[ 105.165187] systemd[1]: Assertion 'j->installed' failed at src/core/transaction.c:553, function transaction_appy(). Aborting.
By throwing the installation onto a memory stick, did I exceed what should be done to a first beta?
