As someone who runs his work laptop with a 2.6.32 laptop and btrfs for /home I'll bite at this one - I've held off updating after reading the issues people were reporting on the list with newer kernels that did not appear to be present in 2.6.32 (indeed IIRC a particular problem from that time could only be solved at the time be remounting the filesystem with 2.6.32, at which point newer kernels could access it again). It's served me very well, it "just works" (so far at least). It's now sounding that 3.2 is probably stable enough for me to consider updating to the next KUbuntu release when it comes out. NB: Yes, I do make nightly backups, and no, I don't run the filesystem at anything close to even a quarter full (not that that guarantees anything, or is even particularly deliberate). cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
