I added Nick's sched and io patches to Con's patch on test9, and it looked stable under load. But I'm (mostly) on vacation this week, so it isn't being tested any more. My responsiveness test didn't show it to be as good as 2.4, unfortunately. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
