We're pretty conservative about changes to the nfs-utils<->kernel interfaces. I wouldn't expect incompatibilites between versions only a few years out of sync. As for questions about known problems and stability of particular kernel versions, sorry, I really don't have a simple answer. I think it's mainly a matter of investigating individual bug reports and keeping an eye on upstream patches, especially anything marked for stable. --b. > > Regards, > > Daniel > > > 1. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847549 > 2. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg98540.html > 3. https://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux.html > 4. https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nfs-utils.html > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
