slrnpull --expire on a news-spool of about 600 Mb in 200,000 files gave a lot of 'trying_to_free..' errors.

2.2.18 + VM-global, booted with mem=32M:

slrnpull --expire on the same spool worked fine.

I think Andrea just earned his official God status ;)

I have been using the aa series kernels through out the 18pre series (with
reiserfs). They have worked very well. Suggest you and Andrea talk and
figure out what else from this series can be put into 19pre. Believe the major changes left in the aa series are bigmem and lvm. I would love to see lvm officially in 2.2...

Luck,

Ed Tomlinson

lvm, 4Gb support, raid 0.90... to be honest by the time that sort of stuff would get integrated (except maybe the 4Gig support) 2.4 will probable be stable and a better option for such boxes
