Hi!

Drive Slow
Paul

Not very well if you have a modern box (RHES/CentOS 6) and Java apps running on them. RHES/CentOS 5 merrily ignored it. Worse, just bouncing the Java stack didn't fix it, it required the box to be rebooted. A sizeable number of annoyed sysadmins tweeting about it this afternoon.

Anything with java running seems hit.
We just finished up a firm round of reboots... :(

Recent Ubuntu boxes and RHES 6... all the same ...

Bye,
Raymond.
