You can untar and compile kernel on it (this exercises file system quite a bit), run various stress tests (like fsx and fsstress), but not others (like mongo). It still has rough corners under memory pressure. Deadlocks are still possible under highly concurrent access. > > Is it resiliant enough to be used if I have a cron job make backups > every 12 hours? How about every 2 hours? As for using it for your home directory, you have to judge yourself. :-) Err, one more bit: fsck is non-existent yet, so, if it crashes---data are lost for ever. > > Sounds like it'll be cool - thanks for the coolest filesystem on the > planet. > Nikita.
