Just not on a kernel with 4k stacks. You're right that it's stable, and that only folks who have layered environments have reported issues. But because there are some gotchas with it, I don't recommend it across the board. I tend to keep the system itself on ext3, and the data on a completely separate partition with xfs. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
