Whew,  guess my pr0n^W files are safe for now!

ive got a 30gb and a 75gb IBM deskstar both on the primary IDE with a 
plextor 16/10/40 on the secondary channel.  I did notice that ripping from 
the cdrom incurred a HUGE slowdown on my system (makes an athlon feel like 
a 486 with 8 copies of netscape running).  I figured that this could be 
overhead from ide-scsi emulation.  Or it might be related to what I just 
read about.

Anyways..  whats this bug have to do with the recent Via + reiserfs woes I 
have been hearing about?

Are the recent kernels 'safe' to use, even with hdparm optimizations?
