I wish i had that uptime - reminds me of my 2.2.x boxes
(although they don't have ext3 or qlogic HBAs).

This linus 2.4.18? just with qlogic driver added?
I wonder if LVM has anything to do with my problems,
you using quotas or LVM?
Also I wonder if the file access pattern of 'afpd' (the offending
process in my oops) triggers some problem not usually observed.

Previous uptime with 2.4.17 was even longer.

Yep, vanilla 2.4.18 with intel's e1000 and Arjan's qla2200.

Used quotas but disabled it, never used LVM _with_ HBAs on that host
(per Arjan's advice). LVM _is_ used on local attached SCSI disks though.
