I saw one drift past, from Zwane (I think), but wasn't sure that it worked.

Welll ext3 has been a bit bumpy of course. It's getting better, but I haven't yet been able to give it a 12-hour bash on the 4-way. Last time I tried a circuit breaker conked; it lasted three hours but even ext3 needs electricity. But three hours is very positive - it was hard testing. I'm not testing RAID at present, partly because I'm too stoopid to understand mdadm and partly because the box-with-18-disks heats the room up too much. This needs to change, because of possible interaction between the IO scheduler work and software RAID. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
