how many other corner cases are there that these distros just choose

as someone who was at that distro in the time.. none other than XFS
and reiserfs4.

FWIW, I have a few servers and my workstation running Reiser4 and
CONFIG_4KSTACKS=y for several months now, and haven't encountered
problems yet. One server also runs Reiser4 on top op lvm2, and another
Reiser4 on top of sw raid1.

I know -mm + Reiser4 + 4kstacks is bleeding edge in more than one way,
but I like that for my workstations and the servers are
test/non-critical.

All systems do have real-life load though. I'd be happy to provide data
from these systems. Just mail me the commands.


I would like to add to this. I've been using XFS+LVM+SCSI in a 14,000+ user University email server with 4k stacks since it became available. I didn't even have problems BEFORE the XFS stuff was stack-dieted. I would also be happy to provide more data.
