<div id=":2gp">Hi all,<br>
<br>
We're currently using Linux 3.0.12 with Cristoph's xfs-bulletproof-sync patch and it seems to be working very well for us. Unfortunately this kernel is vulnerable to the recent CVE-2012-0056 no permission checking on writes to /proc/(pid)/mem local root exploit, so we've got to leave it behind.<br>
<br>
I see that the newest recommended stable kernel on <a href="http://kernel.org" target="_blank">kernel.org</a> is 3.2.9. </div></blockquote></div><br><br>Sean,<br><br>You do appreciate 3.0 has been designated a long-term kernel by the <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> team and will get <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> support for 2 years. 3.2 is not a long-term kernel, so support drops from <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> more or less when 3.3 comes out.<br>
<br>3.2 support will come from the distributors of course, but I don't know if any of the major releases are based on 3.2.<br><br>Greg<br>
