I'll run the backups every day for a while to speed up the testing also. Could someone please tell me exactly which patches I should include in the kernel I will boot tomorrow? I haven't played with -rc for ages, so I'm no longer sure which kernel I should start with (2.6.14 or 2.6.14.3?). Are the MPT-fusion performance fix patches in -rc4, or if not will they still apply?
