Have used this and has worked great on the machines I've had to use it on. Though I'm a bit leery about using it since I figure the generic 2.2.x.preX kernels get a lot more testing that those with this patch installed. Also heard of problems using this patch on a VIA PIII SMP system. :-( And just went I had been planning to use it on a dual PIII VIA chipset board too.

I actually was going to start using this until I learned that 2.2.x reiser patched kernels couldn't use reiserfs partitions made with 2.4. :-( Ended up having to redo an entire system when a downgrade to 2.2.x became imperitive. Also the 2.2.x reiser patch lacks the large file support (on the reiser filesystems created under 2.2.x) and maybe other goodies and I don't get that back easily by just switching kernels.

Might give this a try now that it appears to be release quality.

I'll look into this the next time > 2GB files support becomes needed on a system. pre 2.4.x I had been using FreeBSD for such tasks. - 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/
