Yeah, I know - I should upgrade...

I want to tell my little tale of woe, though.

I patched my server with kernel 1.2.13 to use the kswap patch
that I found at ANU.  It went fine, until after about 
2 days I noticed it slowly corrupting my filesystems.

Has anyone else noted this problem with kswap on the older kernel?

When I put kswap on my machine about this time last year, I had a
headcrash about a week later.  (same kernel revision)

I am wondering whether there was something seriously wrong with kswap 
back then, and if it is OK now, in the new kernels.

How is the new kswap performing with Quantum Atlas II 4gb SCSI drives, and 
Adaptec 284x controllers?
