Hello Chris,
as always very nice work! I have it now running fine on top of 2.4.21-pre3-jam3 (2.4.21-pre3aa1). Some fiddling was necessary but went smooth after all. My /home partition is mounted with -o data=ordered and the performance is great. Sorry, no real benchmarks, yet.
But some question stay open: Where is 01-akpm-sync_fs-fix-2.diff and 01-iput-deadlock-fix.diff? Isn't it needed anylonger 'cause you merged them and SuSE's ftp isn't updated yet? All files are the "old" one's from 15. January. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/data-logging/2.4.21
What about patch-2.4.20.rfs.06.05-transaction-overflow-fix-0.diff? Should I put it on top, too?
Thanks, Dieter
