Hi Leandro,

That was going to be my next question, what kernel you are using, but 
since you already answered it, I guess that I won't need to ask. I will 
update my source and give compiling a kernel a try.

It is interesting that it is slow on writes. Maybe it is because you 
only have one drive? Have you looked into this any further?

Sincerely,
Jeanie
