I've been testing with 2.4.13-pre1-xfs (with the addition of the final
partition patch off of the Linux Kernel list) and just now (since early
morning) vanilla 2.4.13-pre2-xfs (that already has the final patch).

My tests are simple, on my SMP box, do my normal work, but have a kernel
build (" make clean; make -j 3 bzImage ") going 24/7 for some time.

So far, everything is stable except for a possible very slow memory
leak...  (not sure about it, I'll report more later when I have some
better numbers).
