Hmm, that still seems pretty soon to me. I'd have thought you'd at
least want to wait until most of the distributions (esp. SUSE for you
guys) have released versions that have kernels sufficiently recent

problem.
I don't suppose there is an easy way to query xfs and find out if it
can support
the lazy SB option?
I thought about that; xfs *could* stick someting in /proc/fs/xfs with
supported features or somesuch.
how about /proc/fs/xfs/features
.. any format suggestions?
But, the kernel you mkfs under isn't necessarily the one you're going to
need to fall back to tomorrow, though...
nor the one you just installed but haven't rebooted into yet
True but at least it could make a bit of a intelligent decision.
and maybe a warning for a while about potentially incompatible flags.
yes agree
