I suggest that people test a 2.4.17 release well before using it in
production. This is the first time that I see a lot off people with
filesystem corruption (not to be confused with oopses).
2.4.17 _is_ working alright for a lot of people as well but it is not safe
perse.
And looking from the gentoo page there are no fixes in 18-pre3 that help
out XFS since this probably means they are still seeing problems.
People who want to be absolutely safe might better well use 2.4.16. At
least that one didn't make filesystem corruption afaik.

Every program has two purposes one for which

I use the last kind.
