dapper is still running fine. Clock is correct, keyboard fine, running the 2.6.15-20-amd64-k8 kernel. Uptime not almost 15 hours! I've left the root/boot partition as ext3, after years of fighting RH/Fedora cockups on reiser. Performance is still fine: md0 is raid 1 over 4 disks [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# hdparm -tT /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Timing cached reads: 2472 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1233.72 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 188 MB in 3.02 seconds = 62.18 MB/sec md1 is raid5 over 4 disks: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# hdparm -tT /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Timing cached reads: 2256 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1127.61 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 536 MB in 3.00 seconds = 178.52 MB/sec WOW!
