I also saw weird errors when I (very briefly) ran 2.6.9-rc1-mm1 on my News server. - scp of a newly created file to another box failed with an I/O error - md5sums of newly created files were incorrect - NFS mount request to this box failed with permission denied I don't have time to investigate further, but I've experienced no problems with either 2.6.9-rc1 or 2.6.8.1-mm4. All local file systems were ext3, btw. /Mikael
