That's great, but it's not an answer to what has been asked.
Have you tried SSD based software raid on stock kernel and on 
kernel-ml, have you noticed any big difference?

I guess there should be some difference, software raid is not capable 
of TRIM in stock kernel, but I'm also not sure if a newer kernel is all 
that's required, perhaps modifications to mdadm tool are also necessary.

I've taken some flack for being off-topic regards my comments on SSDs, 
though it would seem relevant to know that we're using Stock CentOS 
kernel, and that we aren't using trim because the performance increase 
was so much improved over spinning disks that we didn't seem to need it. 
Our use case is a worst-case read/write scenario. The SSD partitions we 
use for the DB servers are mirrored software RAID1, which, to my 
understanding, makes the use of trim impossible.

Where we've had performance problems we've always found something else 
to be the bottle neck, typically a poorly constructed query. (PostgreSQL 
really, REALLY hates left outer joins)

It's possible that we could eek out more performance with a suggested 
kernel update. If/when we do performance testing on that front, I'll 
make it a point to submit my results.

I use kernel-ml from elrepo for my Desktop due to hardware support as

to just kernel-panic when I first got my new hardware, now on the most
recent stock kernel just dies with USB errors (Prior to even
attempting to start services etc.) 

kernel-ml works and boots just fine but it sure was fun and games

All of our servers run the stock CentOS kernel as all hardware

Thanks to all for what was a surprisingly interesting thread!  Here are
my very informal and unscientific tallies.  This isn't actual systems,
of course; it's counting people's responses, so my ~10 vanilla kernels
count as one Stock in the tally below.

Stock: 16
CentOS Plus: 5
ELRepo -ml: 3
ELRepo unspecified: 2
Custom build: 2
ELRepo -lt: 1
Stock + ELRepo kmods: 1
Oracle: 1
OpenVZ: 1

No big surprise in the results; most people tend to stay with the stock
kernel, but quite a few people use one of the others.  I imagine that
more people who didn't respond would be more likely to be stock kernel
users, so the numbers are probably a bit skewed towards the tinkerers
and funky hardware or kernel feature requirements.

People's reasons for using a non-stock kernel were also not a huge
surprise.  I don't recall anyone saying that they use a different kernel
just to be recent; in the cases I remember everyone had a reasonably
specific reason to use a non-stock kernel.  That also makes sense here;
it stands to reason that CentOS users want stability, and stray from the
path only when stability is compromised by sticking with stock.

Thanks all for responding!

 stock, latest available. But it doesn't fully support my Dell Latitude
 E6530 hardware (webcam and some Dell Fn keys), so I'm interested in
 your poll!

I almost always use the latest stock kernel, with one memorable
exception.

I had a laptop which would not boot until I unplugged it and
removed the battery.   The reason was a faulty mouse driver,
and the fix was to remove the mouse driver module prior to
shutdown.  The problem was that the mouse driver was compiled
into the kernel.  So I used the SRPM, changed the option to
install the mouse driver as a module and recompiled.  Following
the directions on the Centos wiki was pretty easy.

 Hi all,

 I'm doing a very informal and unscientific poll: which kernel do you use
 on your CentOS machines?  Not which version of the CentOS kernel, but
 which repository.  Here are some examples I can think of off the top of
 my head:

 ==CentOS stock
 ==build own from CentOS SRPMs
 ==kernel-ml (from ELRepo)
 ==kernel-lt (from ELRepo)
 ==OpenVZ kernel
 ==build own from kernel.org
 ==other?

You might as well list 'CentOSPlus kernel' which has added features
and patches compared to the stock kernel.

I've never had any trouble with the stock kernel so I never looked for
alternatives :-)

Of course!  I knew I was forgetting something but couldn't for the life
of me come up with it.  Thanks!

stock, latest available. But it doesn't fully support my Dell Latitude
E6530 hardware (webcam and some Dell Fn keys), so I'm interested in
your poll!
