So far so good. Big improvement over the earlier 2.6.32 kernel. The sort temp file bug is gone. No longer getting kernel faults on my main web server. And - load levels are significantly lower than the 2.6.27 kernel. I'm guessing that it's better disk caching?
Spoke too soon. Openvpn crashes the kernel.
Same here with this and previous .32 kernel. And while trying out new RAID10 I got a ton of "raid10_make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than ..." messages.
