I know it is hard to tell, but any idea when 2.1 will be stable? I need to run xen with out --disable-direct-io and my understanding is that works in 2.1. What kernel is required for that? Does it require the latest fuse in 2.6.31 or can I use it on a Centos 5.2 2.6.18 xen kernel? Last question... will 2.1 allow me to use tap:aio? ><> Nathan Stratton CTO, BlinkMind, Inc. nathan at robotics.net nathan at blinkmind.com http://www.robotics.net http://www.blinkmind.com
