Hello Ritesh,
thats pretty much what I use here too. I think those are fairly good
options for a vanilla kernel. But those patches from Con Kolivas sound
nice, too.
First I look whether 2.6.17.1 + xfs-fix patch + sws2 is really stable now
with XFS and write caches on... see:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6757
(seems fine upto now)
and
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6380
(seems fine with write caches on now but I like to test a bit longer)
Regards,
