I'm still on 4.8.x. I'd be happy to hear from anyone using 4.1x for a very typical single disk setup. Are they reasonably stable/good enough for this case? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Somehow, not one disk has spontaneously burst into flame on 4.9 nor 4.10-rc for me yet, so I guess so. Also, 4.9 is a LTS that's going to be maintained for 5½ years so it is supposed to be stable. And there's no evidence it is not. Experimental features continue to be in a bad shape, but you don't appear to be going to use them.

You should always check with https://www.kernel.org/ what are the current versions and what is their status. As you can see, 4.8 is basically dead in the water, nowhere seen on the website, it does not get any updates anymore by the kernel devs. If yours is a distro kernel, you now have to rely on whatever fixes (and with what kind of quality) the distro maintainers are able to backport. Personally I took a liking to always running the latest longterm series, i.e. right now staying on 4.4 and after a few initial hiccups it appears rock-solid Btrfs-wise (as you said for single device, no multi-devices, no qgroup etc). I'd suggest that you either upgrade to 4.9 (from the news it appears that one will be granted the next longterm serues status), or switch to 4.4, which may or may not be less preferable, given there are some scary sounding reports about 4.9 (if you have this list's archive, search for "4.9" in thread titles) with little to no conclusive resolutions. -- With respect, Roman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
