to Pliny. Geoffrin is unsuitable for production use until it is
thoroughly tested for defects and rebootable in case of future crashes.
In just three weeks we've had two hard crashes and two instances of file
corruption.
We are using a 64-bit Kernel on Geoffrin, right? I wonder if this is a
good idea, since the Kernel hackers working on the AMD64 Linux port have
just fixed several nasty bugs that could lead to data corruption and
crashes. According to Andi Kleen, one of the lead hackers working on
x86_64-Linux, AMD64 isn't really ready for production use and has still
lots of hack value.
Maybe it might be a good idea to stick with a 32-bit system on Geoffrin
until the Linux codebase for AMD64 stabilizes a bit more?
