Would > that approach alleviating your concerns? IIRC last time we discussed this I expressed a preference for focussing on the 3.2.0 release, but did not object to a 3.1.12 either. I think Eric followed up and asked if Christoph had specific concerns that should prompt a 3.1.12 release. Now I think it's probably just best to focus on the xfs_repair bits for 3.2.0. -Ben _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
