We use 4K blocksize. With the previous kernel from about a month a go we
have been getting uptimes of about a week, I do not know for sure how much
average would be as I have been about once a week tried to upgrade to a
newer current. I haven't seen a single corruption problem with that
kernel, though some panics, so something bad happened about month ago.
We mount some thing from the news server with NFS, so it might be related
to other people reporting NFS being flakey for last couple of weeks. The
filesystem corruption is nasty, as it requires manual care to get things up
and going...
