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?
This fix was available as of 2.6.17.2, but not currently in 2.6.17.6...

I am running all of my machines with this patch and rebooted a couple of
them with KNOPPIX and checked the FS, it seems to be OK now.
