We do that sometimes, but seldomly, and, strictly speaking this is a violation of our release principle[1]. If you want a later btrfs in Debian stable, you will be better of by using a backported kernel. I would, however, advise against using btrfs in productive environments, even if it's from the latest and greatest kernel. >>think about stating your name. > >My full name is Davidyants Vazgen Samsonovich. Are you happy now? Happier at least. I think it's polite to introduce oneself. Greetings Marc [1] I remember the day when a Debian stable point release introduced a new version of an ethernet driver that broke an entire class of IBM blade servers' networks and I also remember being scolded for relying on Debian stable instead of doing extensive tests myself -- -------------------------------------- !!
