Hi!

Lets see whether MailMan lets GPG signature unmangled or whether it is 
something else that mangles it.

I really hope that LVM gets write barrier support for write barrier 
capable targets. Unless it does my notebook will use plain partitions for 
anything but testing filesystems. Otherwise with 2.6.16 back then I 
hardly felt a difference in XFS speed after turning off write caches.
