Hi,

I'm wondering if it's time to make 4K stacks the default and to start considering removing the 8K stack option alltogether soon?

One of the big problem spots was XFS, but that got some stack usage fixes recently, and the 4K stack option has been around for quite a while now, so people really should have gotten around to fixing any code that can't handle it. Are there still any big problem areas remaining?
Has anyone fixed the infrequent crashes with 4K stacks and ext3 -> LVM snapshot -> LVM -> DM mirror -> libata?

The latest (as of 150 days ago) Fedora 6 32-bit kernels crashed every week or two, the 64-bit kernel, which I believe uses 8K stacks, has been up 150 days.
