For server use it seems to hold up reasonably well for something which
is not thoroughly tested ;)
The test machine at work holded up nicely when doing some light testing.
Samba seemed a bit sluggish during kernel compiles though. This was a
redhat 7.0 system and is upgraded using the SGI xfs installer. This is a
standard dell desktop machine with a PIII 450 256MB ram and a 40GB IDE
disk.
On my home machine I had a machine lockup during browsing with mozilla but
that could have been because of the nvidia drivers for my TNT2.
I had been playing "soldier of fortune" for a couple of hours and went
browsing after that. It locked up about 5 minutes after that.
Last thing I saw in the log was the unloading of es1371. No messages after
that :-/
All in all it's actually positive. The work machine stayed up and the home
game machines are up faster after a crash with xfs :-)
Bye
