That was my initial idea, and it may be better than a generic kernel version for all features. Even if we fill in 4.7 for any of the features that are known to work okay for the table. For RAID 1 I am willing to say it works stable since kernel 3.14, as this was the kernel I used when I switched /home and / to Dual SSD RAID 1 on this ThinkPad T520. -- Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
