Troubleshooting
Startup delays
- Interaction with Anti-Virus software - AV software may interact with the startup of AndLinux, typically by maintaining a lock on the 4GB disk image file base.drv while it is scanned.
- Solution: To prevent this, one can exclude the andlinux directory from the AV on-access scanner. In McAfee, this is done by opening the VirusScan console → double-ckick On-Access Scanner → then select All Processes → open the pane Detection and click the button Exclusions... → click Add... to add a new exclusion → Browse to AndLinux directory and select Also exclude subfolders.
- Stalling when mounting / - You experience a huge delay during the startup process, and when launching the FLTK console, you observe that andlinux is stalling on the message below.
ReiserFS: cobd0: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on cobd0 kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Modules already installed. Closing / kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
- Solution: The fix proposed in this post is to actually change the extension of the disk image file from .drv to something like .drive (ie. change ./Drives/base.drv to ./Drives/base.drive and ./Drives/swap.drv to ./Drives/swap.drive) and adapt the configuration files ./settings.txt accordingly.
