It is not possible to get this piece of software stable by waiting for crash reports. Quite some of the problems do not produce core dumps or regular dumpable crashes. Examples: Our testbed consists of two servers (replicated standard setup) and two clients. If you start two continously running bonnies on both clients you will experience some hangs or offline situations by one or even both servers and hanging client filesystems. This always happens within 5 days of continuous runs. If you untar a standard kernel source on a client you will notice that in at least 5 out of ten runs tar exits with previous errors. If tar exits ok, try to make the kernel. Then you will notice that it complains about quite some filedates in the future. (The same archive works well on any local fs of course). I cannot dump these problems, I only can tell you to check them out for yourselves. They are all quite easily reproducable on a standard setup based on opensuse 11.1. -- Regards, Stephan
