Not exactly. Although it is easy to experiment. Run a database benchmark and 
pull power cord half way thr. See what happens to file system and database.

It's in kernel 2.6. No version of released glibc supports it as of now. You 
might have to wait till december for that to happen.

Anyway threading in current 2.4 kernel isn't all that bad. Just make sure that 
you are using sensible amount of threads. More than 20 threads in  a single 
process calls for redesign of the app. on any platform..
