Thanks.

>From Documentation/filesystems/xfs-delayed-logging-design.txt:

2.6.37 Remove experimental tag from mount option
        => should be roughly 6 months after initial merge
        => enough time to:
                => gain confidence and fix problems reported by early
                   adopters (a.k.a. guinea pigs)
                => address worst performance regressions and undesired
                   behaviours
                => start tuning/optimising code for parallelism
                => start tuning/optimising algorithms consuming
                   excessive CPU time

2.6.39 Switch default mount option to use delayed logging
        => should be roughly 12 months after initial merge
        => enough time to shake out remaining problems before next round of
           enterprise distro kernel rebases

Cheers,

Dave.
