If someone has access to such a machine, please try it. There are no bug fixes in this release either - apart from the above problem, no known bugs exists. I'll be donating a virtual beer for the first spotted bug. The patch can be considered stable, it's received quite a bit of testing on highend hardware. Here's a plug from one such tester: "Regarding performance of this patch, it is providing us with the highest aggregate throughput for reads of any of the recent kernels for multiple IOs - up to 185MB/s continuous through both controllers :)" *.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/patches/2.4.6-pre1/ -- Jens Axboe
