No, I am running a 2.6 kernel, but I have been running it for 18 months or so. I'm running a vintage Fedora Core 2 release--too lazy (and afraid) to upgrade on this system that is critical to my home network. There has not been a new Core2 kernel in quite some time--my last kernel upgrade was in March, which I'm positive I was running, at least by August (I know I rebooted about that time). I'm a networking software engineer, so although I have a lot of capability to maintain, fix and debug a lot of stuff here at home, I don't have much in the way of spare time--consequently, I tend to keep using things if they are still working. I did want to switch to Bacuala 1.38, LTO2 and Fedora Core4, but have so far only done the first upgrade (bacula). I saw messages on bacula-users about recent 2.6 changes, and was hoping that any dust would have settled by the time I got there (presumably when I get around to FC4--or FC5, if I continue to put it off any longer). If it would help, I can turn on some sd logging, or something. The poll interval suggestion will probably work for me for now, especially once I get the LTO2 drive online, making nearly all of my backups a 1 tape affair.
