Hmmm... how rare? http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119461747005776&w=2 There is nothing specific that prevents other filesystems from hitting it, perhaps XFS is just better at submitting large i/o's. -stable should get some kind of treatment. I'll take altered performance over a hung system. -- Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
