Hi all,
We're currently using Linux 3.0.12 with Cristoph's xfs-bulletproof-sync patch and it seems to be working very well for us. Unfortunately this kernel is vulnerable to the recent CVE-2012-0056 no permission checking on writes to /proc/(pid)/mem local root exploit, so we've got to leave it behind.
I see that the newest recommended stable kernel on kernel.org is 3.2.9.
Sean,
You do appreciate 3.0 has been designated a long-term kernel by the kernel.org team and will get kernel.org support for 2 years. 3.2 is not a long-term kernel, so support drops from kernel.org more or less when 3.3 comes out.
3.2 support will come from the distributors of course, but I don't know if any of the major releases are based on 3.2.
Greg
