It was just a pain because it was a Yes, it is safer. And recreating filesystems with a newer toolset every so often is a good idea. mkfs.xfs in stretch will do on-storage-format v5, for example, which gives you metadata CRC, d_type, and some other nice stuff that is not present on on-storage-format v4 used by jessie... -- Henrique Holschuh
