The new kernels...



Hi!

I saw that the new kernels have their own "kswapd" and "kflushd". Can anyone
shed some light on what they are, and what I need to do to switch from 1.3.48
to 1.3.68 (for example), because the 1.3.48 does not have them!

I think that running bdflush on such a kernel has some dangerous implications.
This is the only thing that could explain my disk-crash last week.

Any ideas where to read about those?

	Thanks,
