Hello all, Great news, thank you.
I'm going to test it on my IBM p550. This machine can be used for experimental purposes, so I can test lots of things. But, where can I check what should be tested? In the changelog I could not find too much. Actually I'm using 1.3.13a1. First of all, I want to check how it works with XFS. With the latest weekly build, it didnt and I had to use the old ext3. I think I can get back to you in 2 days or the beginning of next week at the latest.
