I use it on a test system, and I made a big amount of resize without any
loss of data.
Really good.
Since I didn't have any production system runnig with Linux, I can't say
if it is stable enough sorry.

Just after the release of 2.4.0 kernel, I patched it with the patch for
2.3.99 kernels and everything worked perfectly.

I only get a few rejects on Config.in, but I inserted it by hand.
