Any reason for turning on debug? It adds thousands of checks to

run this way with data you care about.

So I've been causing the problems I'm seeing by turning debug on?
I'm getting a debug related oops about every 2 months, but wouldn't turning debug off just cause silent data corruption?

I don't recall reading any dire warnings in the help for the configure option, although it does say for XFS developers only.

If it is the official recommendation, I will turn it off.
