I would just shy away from recommending this to others without a nod from higher powers. But of course it's up to Nestor whether he wants to try this or not. > In any case, bisecting v4.18..v4.19 will probably give us a clue. Let's hope for the best. Perhaps bisecting fs/ext4 will provide enough of a clue already and spare the poor bisecter to have to bisect the whole beast. ;) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
