Yes, please. I only whipped up the readahead patch last night. Since it's single threaded, there's a lot less to go wrong compared to TuxOnIce, but it's still possible that there's some bug I haven't noticed yet. It would be good to be able to see it's definitely that patch. > I am a bit unsure on what to test next.
