Hmm. I hope not - we've just deployed 300G of IDE drive (using
an onboard controller, no less) on a box running
2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0.1_PR1 over software RAID 5, and plan to deploy
300G more once we've had a chance to tweak and tune and further
stress test the second box. Other than the highmem bug - which
showed up in testing on the second box, and hasn't yet affected
the first - we haven't experienced any difficulties.
Should we expect some?
Are there some kernel mailing list threads I might want to take
a look at before I dig myself in too deep?
