	Ran it on 1.6_STABLE on a some of the www.formula1.com
	servers (load balanced clusters) on top of mirrored raidframe.
	We had some scsi issues (fixed by AHC_NO_TAGS). I'm a little
	wary of running it on low CPU and memory machines - I run
	it on sparc nfs clients but had problems on a sparc nfs
	server (now retired).

	The biggest problems I've had was a powerfailure during a massive
	directory tree removal - had to run fsck -y in order to ignore the
	fact lost+found filled up with deleted files: Took a couple of
	hours to run, and a sparc10 nfs server (sometime before 1.6) which
	just choked.

	I currently have it enabled everywhere on 1.6.1_RCn: i386 &
	alpha nfs servers, i386 & sparc clients & standalone boxes.
