Stable is reserved for 'mature' features. Testing, as far as I'm aware, will almost never (and should never if you are paying attention) cause data-loss, but might occasionally get in to a situation where something breaks; mostly just during upgrades (but then that's true of any upgrade). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
