Sorry Alan, but even though I am sure Redhat did lots of stress testing,
Redhat 7.1 was not a particularly solid release. I got oopses in the
eepro100 driver even though lots of other people use it, and the netapp
simulator which works just fine on 2.2.16 does not work on it. When I ran
strace on the simulator while it was zeroing some files it turned out that
sys_write was failing with ENOMEM (on a machine with 1GB of RAM that was
not doing anything else).
