Builds from that tree have now been running it without incident for 9 hours overnight on five machines. Before setting that off, I gave them each an hour of fsx under memory pressure, some ext2, some ext4: again, nothing to report. Plus I have confidence in Yongqiang's four patches from running the test with them on rc4 for 3 days on two machines. Looks good to me - thanks to you all! Hugh
