As reported before, an update to 2.4.0-test1-ac19 wouldn't be a bad idea.
I tried bonnie a few minutes ago on a fsmlabs tree 2.4.0-test-ac19 which
still reports as ac18. And I had no problems so far. Bonnie ended with
giving me some ? results. I did it two times with a 100MB file on a
wallstreet. One try without hdparm tuning the other one with.
