NFSv2 2G limits returned functional (they should work also for the 64bit archs now). One major rawio deadlock and several rawio SMP and non-SMP races should be fixed too. (users tells me that Oracle gets a -EFAULT but that may be an Oracle bug too, and with this one my regression test suite works rock solid while it was deadlocking and corrupting memory with the previous patch after 1/2 minutes of rawio stress testing; the same deadlocks and races are in 2.4.0-test9-pre9 too and I'll forward port the fixes as soon as time permits, the way I fixed all those problem in 2.2.x should valid for 2.4.x too [the fix for the swapin readaround deadlock is sure the right way to go for 2.4.x too]) NFSv3 server side is integrated as well. You can also find the 2.2.18pre15aa1 add-ons here: ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.2/2.2.18pre15aa1/ o PIII-1.bz2 [support for new PIII asm instruction (FXSAVE/RESTORE SSE). Credits to Doug Ledford , Ingo Molnar and Gabriel Paubert ] o raid-2.2.17-A0_2.2.17pre20aa1-1.bz2 [raid 0.90 (breaks the on-disk metadata format so it can't be integrated) and is interesting only for raid5 users. Credit to Jakub Jelinek, Ingo Molnar and Zach Brown] o crypto-rejectfix_against_2.2.18pre15aa1_plus_patch-int-2.2.17.6.bz2-1 [apply first 2.2.18pre15, then 2.2.18pre15aa1, then ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/crypto/v2.2/patch-int-2.2.17.6.bz2 and then the addon-patch to fix the reject generated] The three add-ons can be applied in any order and they're not controversial with each other. Remeber to have fun! :) Andrea
