- I ran waffle 1.64 under one of the first versions of stacker. It worked
- quite well for the usenet news section (gave stacker quite a work out -- that
- is how I came to trust it (-: ) and waffle itself. In fact I had all but
- about 20 megs (I had a very small file section. special interest stuff) of my
- hd converted with stacker. Didn't have much of a problem, though the stacker
- volume will get defragmented rather quickly under such a load, but it wasn't
- too bad. I hear the newer versions of stacker now include defrag. tools,
- so it isn't as big a deal as it was for me.
