Hey,

Has anyone noticed big I/O issues with this kernel?

I ran it for a few days, and found that processes (even on the main
system) were often sitting in a D state, seemingly blocked on I/O. But
there didn't seem to be much I/O happening. Even ssh'ing in to any
vservers or physical host was incredibly slow.

Cheers,
Andrew
