Yes, it is. :-)

I have used the imon patch from
<URL:http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/download/>
to patch several Linux 2.2 kernels, and have not experienced any
problems doing so. The latest imon patch for Linux 2.2 is
imon-0.0.2-2.2.17. If you are not using this patch, try this first.
If you can send me the patch command you are issuing, and the output
produced, I will be in a better position to help.

I have not performed any testing of FAM without imon, but I suspect
there would be a detrimental performance difference, altho the system
should still perform better than if every application were polling
the system manually, after all, that is one of FAM's goals! If you
are using a Red Hat system, you should be able to install the FAM RPMs
from the above mentioned site, and see how FAM performs without imon
for yourself. (If not, the FAM source is there, too, altho you may
be unable to build this without imon, unfortunately.)
Let me know how you go.
