Hi all;

I'm still testing kernels vs amanda, and I'd like some advice on how to 
temporarily handle the data churn that 3 or 4 backup runs a day entails.  
Particularly when tar goes berzackers and dumps 40GB into a 12GB vdisk, 
and I clean out the /dumps dir before restarting the next test run on yet 
another kernel I've just built.

Also, persuant to my GenesAmandaHelper scripts, does anyone know how to 
differentiate the amdump return error of $?=2 when a maildir gets updated 
while amdump is running, vs this is a real showstopper error?  The tar is 
the FC6 distro's 1.15.1, which means it _could_ be the newest 1.16.? tar 
in camo.

FWIW, kernel 2.6.20.3 would appear to be fine, and my next test will be 
with Con Kovila's latest scheduler patch on that.  If any of you haven't 
tried this patch, and are using you machine for normal desktop 
activities, this patch is the cats meow or whatever phrase you might use 
to compare it to bottled beer or sliced bread.  It gives you back your 
desktop full time, seemingly without slowing the cpu hog's all that much.
Even skippy audio apps usually lose the skips.

Grep your lkml list archives for RDSL in the subject.

I think I'm in love.
