As of today I'm running 2.6.35-rc3 with XFS and delayed logging on a 4GB
software raid0 we use to do nightly builds of about 150 software packages 
(kernel, samba, etc) on Slackware 10.1.

If there's anything specific I can do, please let me know. I have some more 
hardware around to test with.

By the way: thanks for these monthly status updates: they're really useful!

Regards,

roel
