Yes.

I haven't tried these variations yet:

- keep rx patch, but with larger memcache

- no rx patch, probably with larger memcache

Would trying those help?

Past results:

- no rx patch, disk cache = oops (usually)

- rx patch, disk cache = silent corruption (occasionally)

- rx patch, with default memcache = slow, but no oops or corruption

This is all with 1.3.77 on FC3 with FC3 2.6.9-1.681 kernel (only
change: export syscall table).

Thanks,
Rudy
