Yes, if you don't build ext4 as a module, then crc32c will be built-into the kernel as well, and the problem won't occur. What worries me is that most people building custom kernels generally will build in the modules that they need, since it is the optimal thing to do. It will be those who build ext4 and crc32c as a module, and use an ext4 root file system, that will be hit by this. > Anyway, let's see if we get any more reports before worrying too much. > Thanks for the deep dive into Debian bug history :) If we get reports, we should try to get what distro's they are running, since it's probably going to be distro-dependent. Hopefully, I'm worrying over nothing. :-) - Ted
