I haven't noticed any issues from the kernel. I believe
2.6.32-2.6.32.2 had a bug for iwlwifi/iwlagn if sleep was enabled. I
can't seem to find the option in the 2.6.32.4 kernel, so perhaps it
was removed.

ReiserFS
EXT3
EXT4
LVM (non-root)
Disk size ranges from 80G to 4T. I do not use SELinux, security
labels, or anything silly like that. ;)

No issues from the kernel.
