First, let me say that I don't know if you're getting paid for the work you do for CentOS, but the speed that you put out updates - they're out around or before I get the email from RH - is very much appreciated, and if we're ever at the same place, I'd like to buy you a drink.
Now, a week or two ago, someone was posting here, having problems with NFS hanging under a heavy load, and IIRC, mentioned successfully testing with a newer RHEL kernel - was it 2.6.32-250 or so? - and I was wondering how soon that was in the pipeline, because I'd like to play with it. We don't have it hanging with the current and last couple 6.2 kernels, but reading from and writing to an NFS-mounted directory is six times slower than reading from that directory, and writing to the local disk; for that reason, we've stopped pushing the migration from 5.x to 6.2 on our home directory servers, and rolled several back to 5.x
I am pretty sure that kernel was provided via a customer support call that is hidden in bugzilla .. so we (CentOS) would not have access to the kernel or the SRPM until they release it via the public FTP.
If they release the SRPM publicly (in a people.redhat.com directory or somewhere else via the bugzilla, I will be happy to rebuild it and release it as a test kernel.
