2.6.17.[1-6] XFS Filesystem Corruption, Where is 2.6.17.7?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Beginning at 2.6.17 to 2.6.17.6, there is a serious XFS bug that results in filesystem corruption, there was a 1 line bugfix patch that was released recently and I was wondering when 2.6.17.7 would be released with that patch? It affected ALL my Linux machines (x86) running XFS and many people on the XFS mailing list who upgraded to 2.6.17. I understand when there is a root exploit or DoS bug, the kernel is naturally patched by the -stable team and a new version is released immediately. Does filesystem corruption not constitute an immediate new -stable release of the kernel?
