The lack of this: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0812.1/00998.html Thread here: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0812.1/index.html#00006 2.6.27.10 will be much better. I am not touching 2.6.27 at all until it is out (still running 2.6.26.y here), but probably I won't consider it until it reaches 2.6.27.12 or thereabouts. No, I am not sure it would break Cyrus IMAP. But one doesn't let Cyrus IMAP anywhere near a kernel that is suspect of less than pristine shared memory or mmap behaviour, it would be the same as walking around with dead fish in a basket, near a bunch of starved cats. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
