If you are more adventurous, you could try using one of the long-term supported kernel (i.e., such as 3.18). See: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html But remember, now you have to properly configure the kernel, and you are responsible for checking for new releases of the a long-term supported kernel. If you stick with a specific kernel version and don't upgrade it, then you might be prone to security bugs that would have been fixed by a newer kernel.
Thanks for the info, I have many times compiled a kernel and used it successfully, but when I dist-upgraded from Debian 7 to Debian 8 it installed it's own stock kernel maintained by Debian. No problem to switch to a newer kernel from kernel.org, but for me it was unclear if and how the ongoing ext4-developments will have an impact on existing ext4-partitions. Now I think everything is clear, I'll take a newer kernel from kernel.org. -- cu Uenal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
