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?
Greg has been too busy at OLS, expect it in the next few days.
Additionally, some problems have been reported with the forty-something
patches that were posted for review. If you want to help, apply all of
those patches on top of 2.6.17.6 and see if you can find any problems.
