just wanted to say that 80 compiles fine and boots just dany. however I have noticed something wierd. I tried pounding on the system by doing a updatedb, rm -rf `find . -name "*.orig" -print ` and make clean in the linux top level directory at the same time all which went well. However when I tried running hdparm -t /dev/sda several times , the reads dopped from the first time I ran hdparm from about 1.39 to 0.9 MB persec then finally back up to 3.88Mb/s which is usually around what I get. Is there a reason for this. Can the new read ahead be causing this? If so maybe we should have a way of changing the amount of read ahead depending on the drive cache
